Dolce Chantilly****

One of the finest, and most easily accessible, areas in France for golf is Chantilly. With a classical 16th Century Château sitting proudly in its formal gardens as the town centrepiece and a dozen top-notch courses to choose from, it outshines all other areas in northern France for choice of courses, culture and cuisine.

For golf trips to this region of France, (about 25kms. north of Paris) there is really only one place to stay - The Dolce Chantilly.

Concealed in the thick of the forest behind the stunning Château and just across the road from Chantilly Golf Club, the exclusive Dolce Chantilly hotel is perfectly placed for all of the courses in the area. An up to date hotel with all of the facilities one would expect - indoor and outdoor pools, fitness centre, choice of restaurants: L'Etoile in its sunny conservatory serves a more simple menu; La Carmontelle is a gastronomic experience that takes time to savour. For elsewhere there is a vast range of choices in Chantilly and the surrounding forest.

Beside the airy reception there is a very comfortable bar - where Golf Par Excellence guests enjoy a 20% discount on their drinks!

The hotel course is possibly the least demanding in the area, but pitched exactly right for a warm-up round on arrival.

Golf Par Excellence guests at the Dolce Chantilly receive a very refreshing 20% off their bar bills!

Chantilly Long Weekends

La Grange aux Loups***
In the unassuming hamlet of Apremont, just a long putt from the Golf Club, is the cosy family run Auberge - La Grange aux Loups. The Auberge, founded by Jean-Claude Jalloux and his family, almost entirely on a reputation for fine cuisine is much appreciated in the vicinity. It is often difficult to find a free table for dinner, although this is an easier task on warm summer evenings when the restaurant spills out into the garden. Watch out for Jean-Claude’s other specialist subject - opening champagne with a golden sabre!

There are four en-suite double rooms in the Auberge’s annexe - complete with private car parking.

Hotel du Parc***
A straightforward three-star hotel in the centre of Chantilly. Simple accommodation for those looking for easy access to the bars and restaurants on the "High Street" (and the Night Club in the basement!). Private car park, for which there is a small charge.
