TIME FOR GOLF

MomentsAugust 2014Golf, Paris International Golf club

The first rays of sunshine have just appeared, yet the first golfers are already warming up…

You look at them from your room’s terrace, tiny characters that seem surprisingly real.

Although they are 15 hectares of garden away, you can see them with the naked eye from your secret lair.

You are one of the lucky few to enjoy this panoramic view… You and your friends, who are Château Bouffémont’s guests this weekend.

The Paris International Golf Club grounds are indeed magnificent: you would love to practise your swing.

You call the butler, who gives you the access card usually available to members only, the key to this renowned place.

Created by the legendary Jack Nicklaus, this 18 hole course is only open to a handful of golf enthusiasts worldwide, and right now, you are one of them.

The smells coming from the kitchen of the Château’s resident Chef make you hungry. You are happy about that: A solid breakfast will be much needed before you face your friends on the golf course.

One big step forward seems nearly enough to reach the course… such is the Château’s magic, simple moments that become small everyday luxuries.

COCKTAIL SERVED ON THE TERRACE

MomentsJuly 2014cocktail, moments, Paris International Golf club

The warm weather of July.

Standing on the terrace, you are about to enjoy your cocktail, a delicious mix of pink lychee, lime and tonka bean. A drink that tastes like summer, specially prepared for you and your friends by our Chef. In the distance, the Domaine stretches as far as the eye can see. You do not tire of the gorgeous view in front of you.

On each side of the terrace, the majestic staircases lead your eyes to the French style gardens… Fifteen hectares of greenery surrounding the Château that are only yours to use.

Then, you turn your attention to the Paris International Golf Club, whose gigantic grounds face you. You look briefly at a handful of golfers afar; tomorrow, you will be able to play there yourself: the Château’s staff has given you the card that grants you access to the Golf Club as a member. Comfortably curled up in the garden armchairs, your friends invite you to join them: the sun sets slowly over the Montmorency forest and they would like to share this exceptional moment with you.

You have another sip of this delicious cocktail. The butler offers you a tray of finger food to share, you gladly take it before leaving the terrace to join your friends.

This weekend appears promising… it’s only the beginning…
