Overview

Between Carnac and the Quiberon peninsula, we are in a large kite area in southern Brittany that is very exposed to both west and east winds, with several beaches that allow for adaptation depending on the orientation. The bay of Quiberon and the sheltered areas often provide a calmer water surface, nice for progression, while the more open beaches can offer more chop and sometimes swell depending on the conditions. At the entrance of the peninsula, the isthmus of Penthièvre and the beaches of Saint-Pierre-Quiberon concentrate a good part of the practice, with areas that require careful attention to tides and regulations. It is a well-known destination for all levels, but some configurations are more comfortable for riders who are already independent, especially when there is strong wind or a lot of people on the beach. In Brittany, sailing is possible for a good part of the year, with often more intense sessions in winter and more pleasant slots from spring to autumn.
