Overview

Les Générelles is a kitesurf spot in the Anse de l'Aiguillon bay on the Vendée/Charente-Maritime border. The sheltered position gives flat water in northeast and west-northwest winds. Significant tidal range — sessions around mid to high tide. Good for flat water foiling and beginner progression when the bay fills up. Intermediate level.
