Lac de Jouarres is a medium-sized inland lake in southern France oriented roughly north-south with developed residential areas concentrated on the eastern shore. The western shore features agricultural land and natural vegetation, providing more open access. As a completely enclosed freshwater lake, this spot offers protected conditions suitable for beginners and intermediate riders learning in controlled environments. Wind reliability is notably low at 29.2%, making consistent sessions challenging. Average winds of 9.7 knots require efficient equipment and provide marginal conditions most days. Best wind direction is from the south (180°), creating side-shore conditions parallel to the main lake axis. The spot suits progression riders and those seeking flat-water practice without ocean swell exposure. Key considerations include limited space for launching and landing due to residential development, shallow margins requiring careful area selection, and the need to monitor recreational boat activity, particularly near the marina facilities on the eastern shore. Low wind days are frequent, so flexibility in scheduling is essential.
