Accommodation / Barge

Le Phenicien

Le Phenicien is a different kind of barge.  Luminous and very comfortable, it can accommodate up to 18 passengers in 9 cabins with all common areas on the main deck.  Enjoy the teak sundeck with its director chairs or sip a drink in the vast lounge.  Best of all though you get to play 5 different golf courses and only have to unpack once.

Golf

Pont Royal

Desigend by Seve Ballesteros this is a very fine test of golf where Seve’s trademarks of huge bunkers, well-placed trees and water hazards fit in beautifully with the natural ravines and undulations.There are many super holes featuring dog-legs, genuine three-shot par fives and frightening par threes! Very well-maintained and a treat to play.

Grand Avignon

With wide, well maintained fairways and small, true greens this is a great-value golf course ideally located for the sights of Avignon before or after your round.

Servanes

The Servanes Golf Club offers the privilege of playing amongst unforgettable scenery at the foot of the Alpilles hills, on one of the region's finest 18 hole courses. Discover a place bathed in sunlight, sheltered from the Mistral, edged with olive groves, cypresses and cascading lakes.

Nîmes Campagne

Arguably the best course in the region, Nimes Campagne is consistently placed among the very best in the country and past host to several European Tour events (Bernhard Langer won his first tour event here). The traditional parkland layout avoids modern excesses and features beautiful trees, a touch of water and wonderfully crafty greens.

La Grande Motte

This Robert Trent Jones Jnr design is a regular host of the PGA qualifying school on the European tour.  Its wide and long fairways, tricky approaches, lots of water and large sloping greens provide the perfect magnifying glass to see if the “wannabes” can make it on tour. 

Itinerary

Sunday

Transfer from a defined picking point to Le Phénicien which is moored close to the Avignon ramparts. It is time for a little nap or a free visit of the city. Your first dinner on board gives an indication of the high standard of cuisine that will be served during the cruise and the accompanying wines have been specially chosen from top-notch local vineyards. 

Monday – Pont Royal Golf Club

Then a lunch cruise takes you closer to one of the best cellars of Châteauneuf-du-Pape where you will have a guided visit followed by a wine tasting. This evening you sail to Villeneuve lès Avignon where you will stay overnight. The wines tasted in the morning are back on the table at dinner!

Tuesday – Grand Avignon Golf Club

This afternoon, you sail down to Vallabrègues a quiet and charming little port where it is good to rest, have a bike ride or play the pétanque under the plane trees.

Wednesday – Servanes Golf Club

Back to the barge where you pass through the huge 36 feet high lock of Beaucaire and sail down to Arles, the open-air Museum of Provence.

Thursday – Nîmes Campagne Golf Club

The most impressive navigation of the whole week is saved for today heading for the Camargue! You cruise the Rhône river, the petit Rhône and the canal to reach the quiet and typical village of Gallician.

Friday – La Grande Motte Golf Club

Your final destination is Aigues-Mortes, a 14th century walled city rising from a flat landscape from which St Louis set sail on his Holly Crusades. The Camargue never fails to surprise and welcomes us for our farewell dinner!

Saturday

After breakfast, morning departure to the defined transfer point.
