Offer your child an Optimist course on the Ile de Ré and let him learn about sailing sports in the school of champions, near La Rochelle!

The Optimist is the perfect activity for young children who dream of sailing! Perfectly adapted to children between 5 and 8 years old, the Optimist allows them to learn to sail with ease! With this 1 or 2 hour private lesson, you will not only allow your child to discover the pleasures of sailing, but also to practice in the school of the famous world champion Antoine Albeau!

Thanks to the private lessons offered by the school of this sailing champion, your child will receive training from the best instructors! On arrival at the base, he will be equipped with a life jacket and all the necessary equipment. Then he will get into the Optimist and the instructor will accompany him from another boat. Your child will be well supervised and guided and will be able to progress in complete safety. For the introductory course, he will learn to manoeuvre accompanied by two instructors. For the advanced course, a single instructor will accompany them. In any case, private lessons are a very good solution for personalised guidance!

Located at the beach of du Peu Ragot, the sailing school of La Couarde is affiliated to the French Sailing Federation and lessons are given by qualified and passionate instructors. Antoine Albeau's school was founded by champions and has more than 47 years of experience in nautical activities! The instructors who work there will help your child to progress in Optimist and quality equipment will be provided to guarantee an enjoyable activity.

The Ile de Ré is ideally located near La Rochelle, to which it is linked by a 3 km bridge. Off the coast of Charente-Maritime and south of the Vendée, you will be in the heart of the Bay of Biscay. Perfect for an Optimist course, the beach of du Peu Ragot is a windy place on the ile de Ré where the sea is not too rough. In addition, the island is rich in heritage: you will find two of the most beautiful villages in France, lighthouses, fortified ports and picturesque fishing villages.
