Overview

Les Bleuets is a kitesurf spot on the Bay of Saint-Brieuc (Côtes-d'Armor, Brittany), near Langueux / Saint-Brieuc. Elevated at 16m, this spot on the inner bay takes advantage of winds funneled across the large bay from the north-west and north sectors.

Huge tidal range — the bay dries out almost completely at low tide. Riding possible only at mid to high tide. Close to the natural reserve area of the bay.
