GOLF: Cabot Bordeaux (Chateaux Course), located in the heart of France's renowned wine region, offers a golfing experience not to be missed. The stunning backdrop of lush vineyards and elegant châteaux enhances the experience, making Cabot Bordeaux a premier destination for golfers seeking both a competitive round and an indulgent retreat in one of the world's most celebrated wine regions. Designed by acclaimed architect Bill Coore, the course is featured in Golf World’s Top 100 in Continental Europe.
SIGHTSEEING: Bordeaux’s fortunes have long been tied to viticulture, beginning with an expansion of the wine trade with England in the 14th century. As a result it is a handsome and cohesive city of uniform classical and neoclassical style, with monumental buildings and many fine estates financed by the almighty grape. The nearby countryside is alive with wine chateaux sporting impressive appellations such as Pauillac, Sauternes, Margaux, and Saint-Emilion. A visit is an excellent opportunity to learn more about wine production and appreciation, which of course requires a considerable amount of tasting to accomplish.

SIGHTSEEING: Guernsey, or the Bailiwick of Guernsey by its official title, is a self-governing possession of the British Crown found off the coast of Normandy, France in the English Channel. It is a wonderful juxtaposition of England and France with an English lean by virtue of the Norman invasion of England in 1066. St. Peter Port overlooks the harbor, with rows of brightly painted houses, and terraced gardens. The island is ideal for rambles along cliffside paths and through the bucolic interior. While fishing, flower growing, and dairy farming are still important, Guernsey's favorable tax climate has brought an influx of offshore banks and insurance companies with their attendant bistros and boutiques. It was here in exile from 1855-1870 where Victor Hugo wrote some of his best-known works including Les Misérables.
