Wind specificities
Best wind directions: South-West and West. North-East can work well if it passes through the two cliffs on the eastern shore, giving more regular and planning-friendly conditions than other Île-de-France lakes. North-West is to be avoided – very gusty and irregular.
Hazards
Wind can be very gusty and irregular, especially from North-East and North-West, due to the trees surrounding the lake. Kite use is allowed but conditions are often better suited to windsurf and wingfoil. Watch for other water users (windsurfers, sailors). Entry fee applies in season.
