Dear Customer,

I am pleased to provide my recommendations and prices for your Versailles golf holiday.

Versailles is a beautiful and historic city and boasts some terrific golf courses in the area.

I have checked availability and best prices and I would have to say that our rate at the Waldorf Astoria Trianon Palace is excellent. This is a five-star with two-star Michelin restaurant, brasserie, spa and lovely gardens overlooking the Chateau. Parking is payable. The Trianon is a ten minute walk from the heart of Versailles. It’s obviously more expensive than my other two suggestions but it does offer a very special experience and terrific value.

Trianon Palace

Golf Saint Germain

Our three-star option is the Residence de Berry near the centre of Versailles. The rooms are small but decent and the welcome and location is excellent. Parking is 100 yards away and payable.

I have also looked at Domaine de Verbois – it offers a good restaurant and decent accommodation. Its attraction but also its disadvantage for a four night stay is that it will not be ideal for the evening as there are not many good restaurants within easy reach although I know the area is very pretty.

For golf, Le Prieure is a great course to start with and is worth the detour off the A16, Saint Germain and Golf National Albatros are among the very best in France and Bethemont is a big, modern course so would be quite a contrast to the other three.

Golf National Albatros

TheVersailles Itinerary (based on six people holidaying June15-19, 2015)

  • Folkestone-Calais return Eurotunnel travel with two cars (out June 15 @ 07.50, home June 19 @ 19.50)
  • Four nights’ bed and breakfast in a Twin Bedrooms at the five-star Trianon Palace, Versailles
  • Golf at Le Prieure on Monday
  • Golf at Saint Germain on Tuesday
  • Golf at Golf National Albatros on Wednesday
  • Golf at Bethemont on Thursday

As detailed above @ £725 per person. Staying in a single bedroom would cost £290 more per person.

Residence de Berry would cost £630 per person in a twin with a single room supplement of £170.

Domaine de Verbois would cost £565 per person in a twin with a single room supplement of £102.

Playing Yvelines and Courson Monteloup instead of Saint Germain and Golf National would save £100 per person.

I hope the above is helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any queries, require further suggestions or wish to book.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Morgan
