How map references work
A point can mark a useful access, business, or approximate area reference. It does not establish a legal riding-zone boundary, guaranteed launch, safe depth, or current access permission.
La Franqui · Les Coussoules shore
KSL lists kite and wing instruction and rental at Les Coussoules.
Salses-Leucate lagoon · Latécoère base
Kite School Leucate is listed at the former Latécoère seaplane base in Saint-Laurent-de-la-Salanque, on the lagoon.
Access & safety
- Conditions and access are local decisions
- The regional guide describes sea and lagoon choices but does not publish a current wingfoil access boundary or a reliable foil-depth chart. Follow site signage and get the selected school’s wind, depth, and launch briefing before riding.

Not a live safety service. Recheck local notices, closures, access, weather, and water conditions before every session.

Plan the trip
- Rail and local transfer are possible
- Occitanie Tourism identifies Leucate-La Franqui rail access and a local shuttle linking the resort sectors. Confirm the current timetable and bulky-gear policy separately; neither is guaranteed by a destination guide. Sources: Occitanie Tourism · wind sports at Leucate.
- Choose the water setting before choosing a school
- The La Franqui shore and the lagoon base are not interchangeable lesson locations. Ask the operator which site is used for your booked session and how to reach that specific base. Sources: Occitanie Tourism · KSL school record, Occitanie Tourism · Kite School Leucate record.
