Golf Provence

Four-Day Weekend: Nîmes

Nîmes

Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday

Thursday

Leaving Northern Europe on a Thursday, you arrive at Montpellier where we collect you, transporting you in chauffeur driven comfort, or by helicopter, to the stately Imperator Hotel, an oasis of peace in the heart of the Old Town in the ancient city of Nîmes. By mid-afternoon you are free to wander the tree-lined boulevards and winding narrow streets, alone or in the company of our guide, who will share with you Nîmes' history and show you all the places of most interest. An afternoon tee time is available in the idyllic surroundings of the Vacquerolles Golf Club. Non-golfers are free to shop at the wide array of stores that Nîmes has to offer.
Provence is, of course, known world-wide for the character, flavour and creativity of its cuisine. You can judge for yourself as you dine in the friendly atmosphere of Chez Michel with its excellent reputation for authentic Provençal cooking, a wide selection of wines, and cheerful ambiance.

Friday

Today we have chosen the Campagne Country Club, awarded a coveted 5 Star rating by Golf European Magazine. It awaits you with a morning tee time.
Golfers will lunch at the Club House, while non-golfers can enjoy their lunch on the Place de Marche in Nîmes, always a scene of Provençal cheer, good food and conversation. Later you can meet with the rest of the group to enjoy an afternoon tasting the fine wines at the Domain of the Chateau de la Tuilerie close by.

In the evening you dine in the medieval, 13th-century walled town of Aigue Mortes (MGG) which is encircled by the salt marches of the Camargue, (MGG). Dinner will be served in a private tree-shaded garden within sight of the ancient towers, where you can enjoy an informal atmosphere of Provençal charm, friendliness and warmth - as well as wonderful food and a great selection of wines.

Saturday

A trip to Provence would not be complete without a visit to the medieval town of Uzes, (MGG) home in 1661 to the poet Jean Racine; so today, after a leisurely breakfast, we motor across the countryside to the Saturday street market, which is regarded as one of the finest in France. Here you will be immediately taken by the charm, the atmosphere, and the outstanding range of produce, jewelry, crafts and traditional clothing on offer in a truly historical setting.
After lunch in the town a tee time is available, or you have the option of a leisurely afternoon visiting the Pont du Gard (MGG), a Roman aqueduct regarded as one of the wonders of the ancient world. Built around 19 B.C. and in excellent state of preservation, the golden tones of its stonework blend beautifully with the surrounding countryside.

For dinner that evening we return to town where we have planned something special. We propose dinner at the renowned Chez Alexandre. This superb restaurant is also Michelin rated. Located in a country villa just outside Nîmes, it has been host to several European Heads of State due to its outstanding cuisine, wines and ambience. Bon appetit!

Sunday

The final day of a wonderful golfing and touring experience. For the early riser there is the opportunity to get in a quick 9 holes at Vacquerolles Golf Club. Non-golfers can enjoy last minute sightseeing in town or just relaxing in one of the many local cafes. After brunch in the beautiful hotel garden, we transport you by road or by helicopter to your departure airport. After ensuring that you are safely checked in we wish you bon voyage and a bientôt, because we hope we will share with you again the unique experience which is Golf Provence.
