On the famous beach of Cherrueix (Ille-et-Vilaine), with a view of Mont-Saint-Michel, the sand becomes the playground of a sand yachting champion who teaches the discipline to enthusiasts.
They are 10,000 visitors each year to come to learn or improve on the beach of Cherrueix (Ille-et-Vilaine). Here, sand yachting is a way of life. Amaury Martin, 12 times French land yachting champion, was 9 years old when he made his first rounds on the sand of Cherrueix. Today, he teaches the basics and has made it his job. “We are lucky to have a site which is classified Natura 2000 therefore with a fairly substantial fauna and flora, with a view of Mont-Saint-Michel while we practice sand yachting“, he rejoices.
A world famous beach
