8 Reasons to take a vacation in France Golf

France is still the most popular travel destination over the world - Paris, charming countryside inns, campsites in Brittany, the chateaux of the Loire ... There are many reasons. But this success of the fairway 510 + in France, despite the often empty. But when a French player needs golf vacation, they are enthusiastic - here are eight reasons why:

Easy Access

Only 100 miles from London and you've got three of the great courses in France: Le Touquet La Mer,Hardelot Les Pins and Belle Dunes. Drive for another hour, and you have another batch of world-bat ... And it goes on. If driving a car, train or in a very short flight, you can come and play on the same day. As they say, "So close yet so different!"

Price

Let's face it, France, used to be ridiculously cheap. It is no longer, but still offers brilliant value for money. You can play 36 holes with a stroller to the jewel of Paris Jack NicklausInternational (only two hours from Calais) for about £ 60 can be in Deauville for only € 19 matches. Compared to the prices of the same quality, provide value far beyond France. Where else can you play one of the largest classes all day (Fontainebleau) and a three-course lunch and free use of a car and training ground for less than the price of a ride at an average price in England? The hotel has its own update with France and works in aThe Hotel has always been a respected profession. Generally, you get a quality four-star hotel for a three-star price.

The Food

Need I say more? The French live for food ... study of child nutrition as part of the national curriculum from the age of seven years, and almost everyone is a connoisseur. The product is fresh, expertly prepared and served with style. Each region has its influence - the sea, rivers and fields. You could tour non-stop and try a different dish for each dayYears.

It is no coincidence that France has long been the world's best restaurants and pubs thousands of wonderful, delicious food and all day. I often wonder how the menus are offered at a price so low (it probably had more to overload the UK!) While we focus on the British currency, the French speak more of their food.

The Gulf

FACTS: 22 courses in Europe's Top 100 Links, parks, golf target layout woods.

Designed byPeople like Tom Simpson, Harry Colt, Robert von Hagge, Henry Cotton, Trent Jones, Pete Dye, Jack Nicklaus. 517 courses. Very few members. Chateau circles.

And 'better for the planet

The rates are climbing - fees for clubs, luggage, four types of taxes, etc. You can tunnel or € in northern France, Normandy, Champagne, Brittany, Paris and also in the south-western France, within 1-3 hours you will receive your ferry, and no need to add to your "carbon footprint"in the process!

Weather

In general, the climate is warmer and more consistently that the United Kingdom. The South virtually guaranteed sunshine - in particular the region of Languedoc Roussillon. I think the Loire, the cut-off is removed, a few degrees warmer than "Old Blighty" in order to really nice time.

The Fine Wine

Despite all the progress of New World wines, France is still considered to offer the best wines in the world. For red winesMedoc, for white wines, Burgundy. Then there's the champagne, the white light of the beautiful Loire Valley, Provence, fruity rose. Surprise, surprise, all of these regions also offer golf courses. There's nothing better than to buy a round of golf in the morning, lunch in the clubhouse or near the Brasserie and store in a block for a wine tasting and the possibility of great wines at very reasonable prices. A very productive day!

Culture

Culture plays an extremely important role inFrench society. From fashion to art, architecture, history, just look at the attention and the public mourning for the last run of the Yves Saint Laurent to recognize what is culture, the French. There are museums all over the world and make a big feast for culture lovers.

I could go on, but let me repeat the main points again and again: for large courses, restaurants, high culture and great weather, you can not just a luxury golf vacation in France.
