Lac d’Hourtin

The Lachanau beach, located by the Hourtin lake in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, is a quiet spot surrounded by pine trees. It is easily accessible on foot via a soft needle carpet, away from the crowded monitored beach in summer. It is an ideal place for kiters, with a calm atmosphere and a school on site.

The Hourtin lake, one of the largest in France with its 5700 hectares, offers a safe space for sailing. Locals appreciate this spot for its shallow fresh water and regular breeze, perfect for progressing without the ocean waves.

Less than 3 km from the center of Hourtin, there are restaurants and bike rides nearby to complete the session.
