France's largest natural lake, at Aix-les-Bains in Savoie, with lighter winds that suit wing foiling. The northerly Bise is gusty; at the southern end the westerly Traverse arrives late on summer days, around six in the evening. Flat to choppy water off sandy beaches such as the Lido; time restrictions apply in summer.
