France is still the main destination of the world's most popular tourism – Paris, beautiful countryside inns, campsites in Brittany, the chateaux of the Loire … There are many reasons. But despite this success, the fairways of the 510 + courses in France are often empty. But when a player takes a French, Golf Vacations, were beaten up – here are eight reasons why:
Easy Access
Only 100 miles from London, there are three main courses of France: Le Touquet La Mer, Hardelot Les Pins wereBelle and dunes. Hour and you have a second group of world-coil … It goes further. If they are allowed to drive, take the train or take a short flight, you can come to play the same day. As they say: "So close, yet so different!"
The Ladies
Let's be honest, the French used to be ridiculously cheap. Not so, but it still offers excellent value for money. You can be 36 holes with a wheelchair Jack Nicklaus jewel International Paris plays (only two hours fromCalais) to 60 pounds and can play in Deauville for just € 19. Compared to the courses of the same quality, France gives a value much better. Where else can play one of the world's greatest courses during the day (Fontainebleau) and has a three-course lunch and free use of a cart and practice range less than the price of one cycle of a course mean England? For the presentation of France has updated its offer and to work in a hotel was still a respected profession. Commonspeaks, he gets four stars for quality for a three-star price.
For human consumption —
I say more? The French live for food … Children study the food as part of the national curriculum, from the age of seven years, and almost everyone is an expert. The production is fresh, expertly prepared and served with style. Each region has its influence – the sea, rivers and fields. You can tour non-stop and try a different dish every day for years.
It is no coincidence that France is in first placerestaurant in the world, and thousands of breweries beautiful with a nice clean all day. I often wonder how the rights are offered at a price so low (and probably more to do with the United Kingdom overload!) While we focus on English money, the French language the most of their food.
Golf
FACT: 22 courses in Europe Top 100 Links, park, golf destination, layout woods.
Designed by the likes of Tom Simpson, Harry Colt, Robert von Hagge,Henry Cotton, Trent Jones, Pete Dye, Jack Nicklaus. 517 courses. Few members. Houses Castle club.
And 'better for the planet
The sky is the price increases – the cost of clubs, equipment, four types of tax, etc, can come to northern France, Normandy, Champagne, Brittany, Paris and even the south-west France in a three hours from the tunnel or ferry, and did not need to add to their carbon footprint in the process!
Time
As a general rule,the climate is warmer and more consistently that the United Kingdom. South almost guaranteed sunshine – especially the region of Languedoc-Roussillon. I think the Loire river cut off by a couple of degrees warmer than the country's "old" in order to ensure that the actual time.
Fine Wine
Despite progress in the New World wines, France is still considered to offer the best wines in the world. For red wines, Médoc, for white wines of Burgundy. Then there's the Champagne, the beautiful lightwhites of the Loire, fruity rosé from Provence. Surprise, all of these areas also offer great golf courses. There is nothing better than playing a round of golf in the morning, lunch in the clubhouse or at a stop in a pub near the castle for a process and the opportunity to purchase great wines at low prices. A very productive day!
Arts
Culture plays a very important role in French society. From fashion to art, architecturehistory, just you need to watch the audience's attention and the pain of the recent death of Yves Saint Laurent to realize that culture means that the French. There are museums all over the world, and make a great feast for culture vultures.
I could continue, but I want to be a repetition of the main points again and again, great courses, restaurants, high culture and good weather, there may be a luxury golf vacation in France destroyed.
