Kitesurfing at La Baule

La Baule is one of France's most elegant seaside resorts, wrapped around a vast crescent bay of fine sand. The sheltered orientation gives calm, chop-free water that is ideal for learning, and the southerly to westerly sea breezes provide steady, manageable wind. The huge beach and gentle conditions make it a classic beginner and freeride spot on the southern Brittany coast.
