On the program: dinghy, catamaran, windsurfing, kayak, stand-up paddle, as well as sea rides in the company of a skipper…
Focus on the Fouesnant Sailing Club
Located on the Cap Coz beach in Fouesnant, the Centre Nautique de Fouesnant Cornouaille is one of France’s leading sailing schools and Finistère’s leading nautical spot. Supervised by qualified instructors, in private or small group lessons, introductory or advanced courses, you’ll have the chance to sail a catamaran, dinghy, windsurf, stand-up paddle or sea kayak off the coast of Beg-Meil, with the Glénan archipelago in the background! For the record, Michel Desjoyeaux, one of the world’s most successful solo sailors, was himself a member of the Club de Voile de Fouesnant! In other words, you’ve come to the right place! The Centre Nautique Fouesnant Cornouaille is also a sailing and competition center, with a team of some forty racers who train all year round on catamarans and windsurfers. Every year, the nautical center organizes regional, national and even international competitions, such as the European Laser in 2017.
Family sailing: fun, relaxation and escape!
Looking to get away from it all? Treat yourself and your family to a catamaran cruise from Beg-Meil to Concarneau, accompanied by a Breton skipper! On the program: the secret coves of Beg-Meil, the pretty walled town of Concarneau, Ile aux Moutons and, of course, the fabulous Glénan archipelago! If you’ve always dreamed of sea kayaking, take advantage of your camping holiday to sail to the tip of Beg-Meil, to the secret mudflats of Penfoulic where thousands of birds have found refuge, or to the waters of Anse Saint Laurent and Saint Jean. A change of scenery guaranteed!
Sailing for kids is a real adventure!
Sailing is a great adventure for adults and children alike! So why not introduce your children to sailing on your camping vacation in Fouesnant? Whether at Cap-Coz or Beg-Meil, you can sign your little sailors up for discovery workshops called “Jardin des Mers” (from age 4). They’ll be delighted to learn the joys of sailing and the rudiments of sailing on small, age-appropriate boats! On the program: crossing on a mini-catamaran, games on an Optimist with butterfly sails, sea kayaking, caravel rides to discover fishing with traps or nets, fishing on foot, discovery of seabirds, underwater fauna and flora on the South Finistère coast…
