For a great-value, countryside retreat heading down towards Burgundy, Vaugouard presents an attractive proposition even without the very warm welcome and friendly staff.
There are 42 bedrooms – 11 in the main 18th-century chateau and 31 in the annexes. The dining room is elegant and al-fresco lunches and dinners on the terrace overlooking the golf course is always a must. There’s also a clubhouse lunchtime brasserie for simpler fare.
Close to the very pretty town of Montargis – known as the “Venice of France”, and 75 minutes’ drive from both Troyes in Champagne and Beaune in Burgundy, Vaugouard is perfectly located for wine and history buffs. The on-site golf course is enjoyable and quite demanding in places and you can also play Augerville and Fontainebleau, the latter of which is often rated No.1 in France.
To maximise value, take advantage of my free golf deal at Vaugouard for hotel residents but it’s still keenly-priced if you fancy an away-day. Perfect for an easy week or a convenient one- or two-night stop-off on your Tour de France.
