Set in the heart of Normandy, Évreux offers golfers the perfect blend of peaceful countryside and classic French charm. Just over an hour from Paris and easily reached from the Channel ports, it’s a relaxed base for a golf break that feels authentically French without the crowds of the capital.

The town itself is compact and welcoming. The impressive Cathédrale Notre-Dame d’Évreux dominates the centre, and the surrounding streets are filled with traditional cafés, boulangeries and relaxed brasseries — ideal for a post-round glass of Normandy cider or a hearty steak-frites. The region is known for its apple orchards, Calvados and rich cheeses, so dining here is as much a highlight as the golf.

Beyond the fairways, Normandy’s rolling countryside is made for exploring. Honfleur’s postcard-perfect harbour, the historic city of Rouen and the D-Day landing beaches are all within comfortable driving distance, making it easy to combine golf with culture and history. For something closer to town, riverside walks and quiet market squares offer a slower pace between rounds.

The best time to visit is late spring through early autumn (May to September), when the courses are in prime condition and temperatures are ideal for walking golf. Summer brings lively local festivals and open-air events, adding extra atmosphere to an already charming destination.

For golfers seeking quality courses, great food and a proper taste of northern France, Évreux delivers understated excellence.
