PerryGolf is thrilled to offer The Best of Southwest France Escorted Tour, a fully managed fixed itinerary featuring 11-nights and 5 rounds exploring the Bordeaux and Biarritz, where gastronomic, cultural and scenic pleasures abound. Taste wine at Château du Tertre, take guided tours of Bordeaux, Perigord and Arcachon Bay, enjoy lunch at La Corniche. The golf is equally outstanding, on five diverse courses, including St. Emilion, a recent creation from renowned American architect Tom Doak.
Bordeaux and Biarritz regions are located in the southwest of France, a region known for its rich gastronomy as well as the exceptional wines produced in the Bordeaux region. From the Gironde estuary, a long straight coast, except for the notch formed by the basin of Arcachon, extends towards the south. It is the Landes de Gascogne with miles of beaches lined by a vast pine forest. A rugged terrain begins to emerge in the south in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques, where Biarritz and Bayonne are the main cities of Basque Country, a territory with strong identity. To the northwest, the Perigord and its forests are full of castles, villages and prehistoric sites like the cave of Lascaux. To the south the Lot et Garonne is dedicated to rural tourism.
In Bordeaux, savor the region’s renowned wines on a visit to Château Pichon Longueville; enjoy a guided tour of the city, rich with 2,000 years of history; discover Vinotherapy which blends hot natural water with the enhancing property of grapes for a revolutionary skin care treatment;
Following our short drive to Biarritz, take a guided tour of The Bassin d’Arcachon (Arcachon Bay), a beautiful nature preserve; explore the city’s fashion boutiques and shopping district; enjoy a tapas tour of San Sebastian. Farther south, relax in a prestige room at Château des Vigiers, a magnificent castle dating back to 1597 located in the beautiful countryside near Bergerac; enjoy dinner at Moutier Thenac, a 19th century farmhouse converted to a traditional restaurant serving local cuisine.
The golf on our Tour includes courses that appeal to golfers of all skill levels. Medoc les Châteaux, a former host course on the European Tour, is carved from the tradition of Scottish links. Golf D’Arcangues is a short but demanding layout (140 slope) offering panoramic views of the Pyrenees mountains. Biarritz Le Phare was designed in the British tradition, borders the Atlantic Ocean and is the second oldest golf course built in France. Château des Vigiers is a relaxing Donald Steel layout winding around the grounds of the castle. Saint Emilion is the gem of the tour. Designed by Tom Doak (Pacific Dunes, Cape Kidnappers), the course flows and unfolds through a valley on undisturbed ground.
If you enjoy combining your love of golf with a passion for travel, you’ll find a relaxing and highly rewarding experience on this Escorted Tour for a party of 24-30. Every aspect is fully managed from the handling of your luggage and equipment to hotel and golf course check ins. Various meals, guided sightseeing, carts / caddies, local taxes, service charges and gratuities (excluding caddies) are included in addition to sandwiches, snacks plus an open bar for beer and wine during our time at each of the golf courses.
