About
On the Penthièvre isthmus in Saint-Pierre-Quiberon, Les Passagers du Vent run a sand yachting school open all year. It offers one-hour or two-hour lessons with instructors, to get a taste of gliding and speed. Zef Attitud’, a mobile school, teaches on Penthièvre beach in Saint-Pierre-Quiberon and on Kerhillio beach in Erdeven. Its sessions are led by a state-qualified sand yachting instructor: one- or two-hour introductions, or courses for all levels, from age 8 to 78. Both beaches offer vast stretches of sand, perfect for gliding. Zef Attitud’s meeting point at Penthièvre is the Beach Bar car park, on the isthmus.
