The Wind King

Put the sails on

It pushes, it blows away, it inspires, it gives energy…but you will never see it because this treasure is invisible.The wind gives all its majesty to the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel, it shapes the landscapes and accompanies the men since ever. It is the painter who creates incredible and changing lights by making the clouds move, and above all it is a natural and free force of propulsion to have fun in freedom. On the beaches of Cherrueix and Hirel, take advantage of its vigor to glide on huge beaches on board your sand yacht; two dream spots for this activity.
