About the spot

Cap des Séselets at the southern end of Lake Bourget provides regulated access for north to northwest winds. Rigging uses the lawn, with water access over a pebble shore. Wind close to shore can be considerably less clean than farther out.

A cycle path and road lie directly behind the launch. Never cross them with a flying kite. Riders must be able to self-rescue in the water if unable to return; nearby Mottets is not an unrestricted beach landing. Easterly and southerly directions are technical or disturbed and are not listed as preferred.
