SPORTS

Golf, tennis, padel, horse riding... Barrière offers an unrivalled range of sporting experiences in prestigious settings. As a long-standing partner of major golfing and equestrian events, the Group has enjoyed a special relationship with sport for over a century.

Golf

Legendary courses, trips across the greens, comfortable clubhouses—golf is an essential part of the “French resort” experience and has historically contributed to the enjoyment of a stay at Barrière.

Thanks to partnerships established for nine of its destinations, the Group offers exclusive access to legendary golf courses in France and Morocco, which are often closed to visiting players.

Barrière owns two prestigious golf courses in La Baule and Deauville, which regularly feature in the rankings of France's most beautiful courses.

The story began in 1929 with the construction of the Golf Barrière Deauville. More than just one of architect Tom Simpson's most beautiful designs, the Golf Barrière Deauville and the Hôtel du Golf overlooking it form the largest golf resort in France, with 170 rooms, a spa, tennis courts, padel courts, a kids' club, and 54 holes to play. In 1976, the Golf International Barrière La Baule was created. With its 45 holes spread over more than 220 hectares, it is now the largest golf course in France.

Barrière is also a major player in professional golf, notably as a partner of the Lacoste Ladies Open de France, a flagship event on the Ladies European Tour (LET). Since 2022, the Golf Barrière Deauville has hosted this internationally renowned competition, won in 2024 by Swiss professional golfer Chiara Tamburlini.

Tennis & Padel

At the Resorts Barrière Deauville and La Baule, Barrière offers a comprehensive range of tennis and padel facilities in prestigious settings.

In Deauville, 19 outdoor courts are ideally located along the Boulevard de la Mer, offering a unique experience just a stone's throw from the ocean. In La Baule, the Tennis Country Club Barrière welcomes amateurs and experienced players alike with 24 tennis courts, 2 beach tennis courts and 3 padel courts.

At both destinations, a team of professionals certified by the French Tennis Federation provides personalized coaching tailored to all levels.

Horse Racing Destination

Show jumping, horse racing, polo... For over 110 years, Barrière has enjoyed a special relationship with the equestrian world. As a long-standing partner of the most prestigious horse racing events, the Group has always maintained a special relationship with this passionate sport.

Its close ties with the equestrian world were forged in Deauville, a mecca for horse racing, where the Group organizes the iconic Meeting Barrière at the Hippodrome de La Touques every summer in partnership with France Galop. This unmissable event on the equestrian calendar attracts professionals, enthusiasts, and celebrities every year.

As it expanded, Barrière established itself in other cities with a strong horse racing culture. In La Baule, the Group is involved in leading equestrian events such as the Jumping International de La Baule, also known as the CSIO, one of the world's most prestigious show jumping competitions.
