With fabulous hotels, stunning scenery and some of the finest parkland and target courses to be found anywhere, Paris is a hot favourite.

Chantilly is two hours south of Calais going towards Paris. It features chateaux, glorious forests, an elegant main town surrounded by charming villages and more than its fair share of top-notch courses. In fact, we think Chantilly is one of the best regions for golf in Europe: A fine round of golf is followed by a little exploring and a lovely meal in a country inn. Nothing better!

Chantilly is known throughout France for its chateaux, chic way of life and being the home of French horse-racing. With over 3,000 horses stabled, you'll often see them on training gallops through the 16,000-acre forest or around the tracks.  As well as easy access by motorway, Chantilly is well-served by Paris and Beauvais airports and also Le Havre port. You can also take the foot-passenger Eurostar train from London or Ebbsfleet to Paris, where a hire car or transfer will be waiting for you.

Further south and just three hours from Calais you'll find Fontainebleau: Chic, historic and surrounded by picturesque villages and towns. The region, amid France's largest forest, is also idyllic for golf and there are some stunners to play. Golf doesn't come much better with five tremendous courses to choose from, including the amazing Fontainebleau.
