Because commuting to the coast is a bit long, we have listed for you the best wingfoil spots around Paris!
Sharpen your foil, everything you need to know before going to ride close to home can be found here 😉

The lake of Moisson was created on the site of an old quarry. The lake has an area of 120 hectares. It is 3km long and 900m wide. The bottom is hard and hilly, composed of gravel, stones and without obstacles. On average the depth is 5m with a maximum of 6m. As is often the case on lakes, algae can develop in summer. We therefore advise you to call the base beforehand to avoid any unpleasant surprises when you arrive at the spot. Our little advice in case of abundant algae, the fishing rods in the trunk !

The ideal wind directions for this spot are Northeast or Southwest. Other directions should be avoided if you prefer to prevent a too intimate contact with nature (in this case the trees).
You will find below a detailed explanatory diagram 😉

From Paris, via the A14 freeway towards Nanterre, then the A13 to the Bonnières-Centre exit. Approximately 70km and 1h drive from the northwest of Paris.

To practice wingfoil on the nautical base of Vaires-sur-Marnes, the price is 9€ per day but you can also take a yearly subscription at 126€ which can be advantageous if you plan to ride regularly. If you pay by the day, you will only be able to come and ride between the opening hours of the reception of the base since you will have to pay your entrance fee. However, if you have a subscription, you can come and surf at any time until 8:00-9:00 pm at the latest.

The lake of Vaires-sur-Marnes was created on a former sand pit. It extends over 90 hectares and is 2km long. It hosts a nautical base regrouping many sports. You will have to cohabit on the spot with catamarans, stand-up paddle, canoeing and windsurfing but don't worry there is space for everyone ;) Be careful during the summer period, algae proliferate on the lake and especially around the pontoons. As always, the best practice is to call the reception of the nautical base beforehand to avoid any bad surprises when you arrive on site but if you read the beginning of the article, you already get the idea 🙃

In relation to the orientation of the lake, the ideal wind directions are Northwest and Southeast. However, West or East wind will also allow you to sail. We advise you to avoid the rest.

On the leisure island of Jablines, the opening hours vary according to the season. The base is open from 10am to 6pm during the summer season (June 9th to September 5th) and from 8am to 7pm the rest of the year. During the season, access is not free. It will cost you 7€ per day, 55€ for 10 entries or 90€ for unlimited access during the whole summer.

The leisure island of Jablines regroups several bodies of water. The one on which you will navigate, the biggest one, extends from North to South on a surface of 82 hectares. This spot is no exception to the rule, as we have already mentioned, the lake is subject to the development of algae in summer and once again, a call to the nautical base before moving allows you to be sure to be able to navigate serenely.

The layout of the North-South lake allows for optimal practice with South, South-West or North winds.
