    • Hippodrome de Saint-Cloud tel 01 47 71 39 22, including a 9-hole golf course
    • Jardin d'Acclimatation (within the Bois de Boulogne) tel 01 45 00 16 64 ; 9:30 am to 7 pm or 9 pm
  • We play (not very often) at the Golf de Maintenon (40 miles West of Paris), in the park of the castle which once belonged to Madame de Maintenon, the last wife of the Sun King. The golf course is crossed by a HUGE aqueduct which was built to transfer water to the castle of Versailles (40 miles away). A nice golf course but definitely too many water hazards...
  • Play glof in a wonderful site where the club-house is a historical castle ! There are two beautiful chateaux golfs near Paris.
