The region is famous the world over for its spectacular wines but apart from wine connoisseurs, Burgundy is also popular with sporting enthusiasts who come to this rural region of France to indulge in sporting activities such as sailing, cycling, hiking, fishing and even golfing. Burgundy has over a thousand kilometres of canals and rivers which are dotted with pleasure boats and water sporting centres which are ideal for aqua sports.

Golfers also enjoy holidays in Burgundy as the region has 20 easily accessible but varied golf courses over its four different departments. These serene courses are easy to reach by motorway or TGV from the urban metros of Paris, Lyon and Geneva.

We offer golfers various forms of vacation rentals in the form of historic picturesque houses, villas, chateaux, gites and apartments which are located in close proximity to these courses so that maximum time can be spent practicing your swing rather than commuting to these greens. Several of these rentals are equipped with modern amenities such as saunas, Jacuzzis, pools and hot tubs which are ideal for relaxing and rejuvenating tired limbs in the evening after a strenuous day on the course. Maid service can be arranged for a nominal additional fee at many locations as well.
