Where to stay

Deauville / Trouville

Deauville is Normandy's most stylish base, with the golf course set in the hills above the famous beach resort. The twin towns of Deauville and Trouville — separated only by the Touques river — are two of northern France's most rewarding places to spend time off the course.

Golf access: Golf de Deauville (Diane Barrière Course) is immediately above the town; Étretat is 45 minutes north.
Restaurants & evenings: Deauville and Trouville are two of France's most celebrated coastal resort towns, with excellent seafood and Norman cuisine restaurants.
Families: Deauville's beach, horse racing, and casino give it a classic French seaside resort character; Trouville's fish market is a family favourite.

Étretat

Étretat is a small Norman village whose clifftop golf course and iconic chalk arches make it one of the most photographed spots in France. Staying here keeps golfers immediately at the course in a genuinely picturesque setting, though the village itself is compact with limited accommodation options.

Golf access: Golf d'Étretat is on the clifftop above the village — arguably France's most dramatically positioned course.
Restaurants & evenings: Étretat's small centre has several good seafood restaurants; Le Havre, 25 minutes south, offers a wider choice.
Families: The famous chalk arch cliffs (Falaises d'Aval and d'Amont) are among the most photographed in the world; the beach is pebbled.
