After lunch on board you will be transfered to Golf Chateau de Tanlay (9 holes, Par 35, 2668 m.) situated in the park of a spectacular castle, in the Burgundy Bourgogne region of France.

This 9 hole course was designed in 1989 by the highly acclaimed architect Antoine d'Ormesson who is responsible for some of the most amazing golf course designs worlwide.
