The Open de France Dames is a women's professional national open golf tournament in France on the Ladies European Tour. It has been played annually since 1987, with four exceptions: 1990, 1991, 1992, and 1998.[1]
In 2011, Lacoste became the title sponsor of the event. Between 2012 and 2017 the tournament was held at Golf de Chantaco, near Saint-Jean-de-Luz in the Basque Country, which belongs to the Lacoste family. As Chantaco underwent construction works after the 2017 event, the tournament was moved to the Golf du Médoc Resort and later to Golf Barrière Deauville in Normandy.[2]
In 2026, Jabra became new title sponsor and the tournament moved to Evian Resort Golf Club, succeeding the Jabra Ladies Open at the venue, and moving from September to May in the process.[3]
