The Best of Southwest France Escorted Tour 2019 - PerryGolf.com
Fully Hosted Luxury Golf & Wine Package Vacation - Detailed Itinerary and Pricing available at | The Best of Southwest France Escorted 2019 ~ Bordeaux and Biarritz | 11 Nights | 5 Rounds | 4 Wine Tastings | September 6 - 17, 2019 | POST-TOUR OPTION – Paris including Golf at the 2018 Ryder Cup Venue
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. Best of all, this PerryGolf vacation promises an ideal opportunity to join a group of like-minded new friends.

France Lyon: the French city that has it all, overview about Lyon, Lyon city
Forget Paris. Lyon is currently where it’s at, and whilst it’s reputation as France’s culinary capital is fully justified – twenty-two Michelin stars and counting – there’s a great deal more to this colourful city than gluttony.
A flourish of fabulous new accommodation, cultural sights galore, and a raft of exciting festivals will keep you royally entertained; whether it’s discovering the revamped Confluence district, ambling around the cobbled streets of Vieux-Lyon, or sipping coffee in the bohemian hangouts of Croix-Rousse, Lyon has it all.
And best of all, it’s now easier than ever to get there, thanks to the new, direct Eurostar link with London, which means you can be in the city in just five hours.

What should I see?
The city’s showstopper is unquestionably the spanking new Musée des Confluences, which has nothing to with the confluence at all. Its exhibits are as dazzling as the building itself, for example a Peruvian mummy, some moon rock and Cockcroft & Walton’s particle accelerator.
Make sure you also take a stroll around Vieux-Lyon, with its dense lattice of narrow streets, fantastic Renaissance-inspired architecture and hidden traboules (tunnelled passageways that served as shelter for silk-weavers as they moved their delicate pieces from one area to another), then hop aboard the funicular to Fourvière and the Basilica Notre-Dame – if vertigo isn’t a problem, partake in a rooftop tour for superlative views of the city and, on a clear day, the Alps.
Film buffs won’t want to miss the engrossing Institut Lumière, which documents the pioneering work of cinematographers Auguste and Louis Lumière. Don’t miss, either, the Musée Garnier, named after the eponymous urban planner; it’s not a museum as such but rather an open-air exhibition of murals painted on the ends of apartment blocks.

Where can I go gourmet?
Things don’t get much more refined in Lyon than the two-Michelin star La Mère Brazier, whose signature poached Bresse chicken with black truffles has been ever-present on the menu since Eugénie Brazier – the first woman to attain three stars – opened the restaurant back in 1921.
Lyon is also home to the bouchon, homely, idiosyncratic establishments that tend to specialize in the type of grub that your granny might prepare, and some she might not, like andouillette (hot cooked tripe sausage) and lambs feet.
Two of the most enjoyable bouchons are Daniel et Denise, whose gregarious chef, Joseph Viola, rustles up a sensational paté en croute (crusty foie gras and sweetbread paté), and the all-female run Les Bouchons des Filles, whose house speciality is a mouth-watering Croustille de Bodin aux Pommes (black pudding with apple and herbs wrapped in pastry).
Coffee lovers should head for Mokxa, on a sunny little square in Croix-Rousse; while, for something cooler, Terre Adélice, in the Old Town, offers some 150 differently-flavoured ices and sorbets, including exotic concoctions like honey and rosemary, and salted caramel cream.

Where’s the party?
At the moment it’s Le Sucre, whose industrial aesthetic owes much to the fact that it occupies a former sugar factory; the focal point here is a banging rooftop bar. Elsewhere, Ninkasi (ninkasi.fr) is a collective of some half a dozen bars scattered around the city, then there’s Sirius (lesirius.com), a rocking (quite literally) boat bar on the Rhône with a consistently exciting roster of DJs and live bands. Sophisticates, meanwhile, should pay a visit to L’Antiquaire, a polished but thoroughly unpretentious cocktail bar.
