Outdoor sports available for hire at the castle : tennis, swimming pool, golf

The castle offers a wide range of activities available for hire. The castle has a tennis court, a golf practice range and walking trails, in an exceptional natural setting where parks and gardens are criss-crossed by the gentle murmur of a stream. 

Castle rental with golf course

A driving range with up to 9 holes and a putting green are available during your stay at the castle. 

On the south side of the castle, with a bird’s eye view of the castle and the Normandy bocage, you can play golf while being inspired by this magnificent environment. 

We offer the possibility of personalised, tailored coaching from a licensed golf instructor. Whether your objective is personal training, team building or an introduction to golf, we are ready to support you and meet your requirements. 

As with the rest of the estate, this area is available to you exclusively with your reservation. Make the most of your golf practice with the Normandy castle. 

A tennis court in our rented castle

During your stay at the castle, make the most of the tennis court, which is freely accessible, as well as the rackets and balls you’ll need to enjoy a high-flying confrontation with your friends or colleagues. The tennis court at Villers-Bocage castle is one of the most popular facilities with our visitors, making their stay all the more unforgettable. 

The multisport pitch

Free and exclusive access during your stay 

A space where you can take on a challenge with your family, friends or colleagues. From the multi-sports pitch, you’ll have a panoramic view of the castle and the golf driving range. The entire space around you is a source of natural energy. The forest that borders your play area, with its wild flora and fauna, will immerse you in the vitality of nature. 

Four basketball hoops allow you to play on two half-fields. 

The Health Trail for sport throughout the castle grounds

The fitness trail is one of the castle’s hidden treasures.  From here, the water takes shape through waterfalls, springs and four ponds to rise back up to the castle. This enchanted place becomes a real-life fairytale at every sunset, where you can discover the thousand different shades of colour in the Normandy bocage. 

Outdoor swimming pool

From the outdoor pool, you’ll never lose sight of the castle’s facade, while being sheltered in a nestled area surrounded by olive trees and other ancient trees. Measuring 20m long and 4m wide, the pool is equipped with a counter-current swimming system. Several terraces surround the pool, complete with sun loungers. It’s the ideal place to wake up at sunrise and do some muscle toning, yoga, tai chi, etc. 

Enjoy sporting activities inside the castle for hire

Sport is an essential part of any stay at Château de Villers-Bocage in Normandy. In addition to the outdoor activities available on the estate, from tennis to golf to basketball, many sporting disciplines can also be practised within the castle grounds. Find out more about indoor sports available with castle hire. 

Indoor swimming pool

If the weather doesn’t lend itself to a few lengths in the outdoor swimming pool, you can take advantage of a sports area inside the castle for hire to compensate. Our heated indoor swimming pool is a particularly popular area during stays in the Normandy bocage. Perfect for balancing your muscles, swimming here is an ideal place to practice. 

Play table tennis while you rent the castle 

Whether indoors or outdoors, renting the castle gives you access to a wide range of sports. A tennis court is available, as is table tennis, which has its own tables, rackets and balls. Although easier to get into, this sport nonetheless requires considerable dexterity, which can be acquired through the many ball exchanges that take place on the Villers-Bocage estate in Normandy.
