About the spot

Pont-Levis near Sète accesses the shallower southern shore of Étang de Thau. A walk leads to the actual launch; parking at Chemin du Château de Villeroy is not itself the kite area. The spot is known for flatter freeriding conditions.

Check depth, shells and currently permitted sections locally. Do not rig beside parked vehicles or cut through sensitive shore and bird habitat. First visits benefit from a local briefing. Longer lake crossings require separate planning and organised return, rather than being a routine extension of a beginner session.
