Have you always wanted to try your hand at windsurfing or kitesurfing? Have you been browsing our incredible array of villas in Provence? Then, why not combine the two during a dream holiday in this amazing part of France?
Giens is a peninsula located near Hyères in the Var department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region that is an especially stunning stretch of the coastline and is a prime location for all sorts of adventures. Made up of what is essentially a narrow and hilly island connected to the mainland by two sandy strips of land, the peninsula has marshlands and vineyards and is home to lovely sandy beaches, lots of little bays and ports, and a hiking trail along the south side of the island.
It is, therefore, a prime location for various companies that offer all sorts of water sports outings, instruction, and experiences. And, in particular, it is a place that has become well-known for windsurfing and kitesurfing. So, if you are a fan of outdoor activities and adventures while on vacation in France, it is a perfect spot to visit and if you are especially interested in windsurfing or kitesurfing, it is an utterly unmissable part of the region!
One of the best places to learn or improve when it comes to windsurfing is Spinout School, located between the Madrague and the Almanarre. With 300 days of sunshine per year and some 250 days of wind, this spot is perfect for trying it out and the school offers both beginners and improvement courses for children from 8 years of age, teens, and adults. Plus, if you do not need lessons, you can just rent equipment from them. And if you happen to be unlucky enough to come when there is no wind? Well, adventure can still be had as you can rent paddleboards and kayaks or dive at the Giens Peninsula with Divin’Giens.
So, come have an unforgettable adventure during a stay in one of our perfect vacation rentals in Provence...
