Original 18-hole Longères course designed in the 1920s by Tom Simpson, when he also redesigned the original 9-hole Vineuil course (extending it from 9 to 18 holes). The Longères suffered badly during WW2, and most of it was abandoned after the war. In the 1980s English architect David Steel brought five original Longères holes back into play, together with 13 new holes which he designed.
