Sailing club
 

The entrance to the sailing club is on the corner of rue du port and the rue du tour du lac.

The club is open from May to September. You can partake in various water sports such as rowing, kayaking, optimist sailing and wind surfing.
There are beginner’s classes (from 12 years) every Saturday at 2.30pm. Advanced sessions take place on Wednesdays at 6pm and Saturdays at 4.30pm. The Youth competition group meets on Wednesdays at 5pm and on Saturdays at 2pm.

To try or to perfect one of these activities you can also take classes with experts.  These classes are for 1 to 3 people.

During the summer there are optimist sailing and wind surfing courses for children.

If you’d prefer to take a ride on the lake alone, you can hire boards, boats, 2 or 4 person pedalos or even kayaks!
