La Tranche-sur-Mer: What to do when you get there ?

Sitting opposite the splendid Île de Ré, you’ll find the well-known seaside resort of La Tranche-sur-Mer.

The seaside resort situated in the Vendée department attracts up to 100,000 tourists a year, and it isn’t difficult to guess why. The long powder white beach stretches over 13 km; this alone is enough to attract board sports lovers. Add 5 spectacular spots that can be adapted to beginners, experts and everyone in between and you’ve got a destination that can be listed among the top water sports spots in France.

However, this spot is much more than a simple hangout for surfers, its versatility appeals to many wind sports enthusiasts. At La Tranche-sur-Mer you can also practice slalom and freeriding.

In summer kitesurfers can enjoy the thermal winds that blow between 15 – 20 knots (maybe even 25 knots on a good day). The morning winds are usually weaker, which is why experts advise you to wait until the afternoon. You will also find a lake of 6 hectares perfectly adapted for kitesurfing novices.

In winter however, the western winds can reach up to 35 knots – this is fantastic for experienced kitesurfers.
