France has been a major golf holiday destination now since the late 1980s and golf breaks business from the UK exploded, once the Eurotunnel opened in the early to mid 1990s. It recently became the most visited tourist destination in the world, which is some achievement! The country has such a wide and rich array of scenery, cuisine, wines, culture and population, it is hard to pick out the best in one introduction, but as we are only really looking at golf venues this makes it a little easier.
The delightful region of Provence is inclded with the magnificent Four Seasons Resort with 2 amazing and exclusive golf courses designed by Gary Player.
The resort is reached by flights to Nice from many UK airports on the Cote d'Azur, lovely verdant and hilly scenery with lots of natural colour, this is the most beautifual part of France.
The Lovely Dordogne is in the south west – just inland from Bordeaux, which can be accessed by flying to Bergerac also and is one of the most picturesque parts of the country, not just super wine like St Emilion but lovely spectacular scenery with gorges, caves, stunning rivers and ancient wine towns to explore and lovely old castles. Our featured resort Chateau des Vigiers is really special and has 27 holes adjacent together with its own wine and vineyards.
The British love the laid back French culture and the superb food – whether it be its soft cheeses or the incomparable baguettes or the more refined frogs legs or snails!! Regardless the French will always create finer cuisine than the British and we are lucky France is just over the English Channel!!
Bon Voyage
