Kitesurfing at Carro

Carro, west of Marseille on the Côte Bleue, is one of Provence's most reliable Mistral spots, tucked around a small fishing port with a sandy cove. The Mistral blows strong from the west to north-west, delivering powerful, gusty wind with chop and waves outside. It is an exposed, no-frills spot best suited to riders who can handle strong conditions.

Best wind directions: W, NW
