Self-drive in France
J
ust 35 minutes from Folkestone, northern France provides the quickest and easiest way of experiencing a golf holiday abroad. Simply load up the car, hop on the Eurotunnel’s Le Shuttle and you can be on the course before lunch. From half-board options, such as the Hotel du Parc or the AA Saint-Omer Hotel du Golf, through to the 5* favourite at Hôtel Barrière Le Westminster we’ve got some incredible options from which you can explore the best of golf in Le Touquet. From the Colt-designed Golf du Touquet la Mer and the two courses at Golf d’Hardelot down to the always-popular Golf de Saint Omer, a base here opens a world of possibilities. Away from the course, there’s few better places for a post-round debrief than Le Globe Trotter bar in Le Touquet, perennially popular with our golfers! If you do want to build your break around the golf, then you simply must look at adding Le Golf National to your trip. Choose from the on-site Novotel Saint Quentin Golf National or the nearby 5* Waldorf Astoria Versailles to fully maximise your time on course.
If you’re looking for something truly special, then why not live the chateau lifestyle with a break to Saint-Saëns or Chateau Clery – both an easy drive from Calais. For those wanting to stay, play and relax in one place, the fabulous hotel at Domaine de la Bretesche near Nantes provides the ultimate in tranquil luxury. Check out the map function on our website for a full list of French breaks across the country, with all modes of transport catered for – whether you’re looking to arrive by car, boat, train or air!
