La Corniche — Mediterranean seaside spot in Sète, at the foot of Mont Saint-Clair on the south side. Secondary spot, less used than Les 3 Digues or Le Pont-Levis. Access from the Corniche de Neuburg. Françoise Pascal water sports center: catamaran, Optimist, windsurfing, windfoil, paddle courses. Exposed to SE Marin and NW Tramontane, but Mont Saint-Clair creates disturbances depending on the wind direction. Spot more suited for windsurf/wing than kite.
