Kitesurfing and water sports, visits to vineyards, gastronomic discoveries, activities for children – there’s something for absolutely every taste when it comes to enjoying a stay in Torreilles.
Kitesurf and water sports
The Leucate region is undoubtedly the most famous kitesurfing area in France. A firm favourite with kite and windsurf enthusiasts, it hosts international competitions such as the Mondial du Vent every year. But it's also a great place to learn, with beginner-friendly spots just a few minutes from Wine and Kite. Don't hesitate to contact us to arrange lessons with our partner schools. Here are some of our favourite spots....
Saint Laurent de la Salanque seaplane base
Just a 10-minute drive away, it's an ideal spot for beginners, but will also delight the more experienced.
The mouth of the Agly at Torreilles
At the northern end of the beach at Torreilles, experienced kitesurfers gather here to sail on the sea or river, in sea or thermal winds.
Parc des Dosses
The world's best riders gather here in April for the Lords of Tram. But this natural site also boasts a small water park for children, as well as a huge wake park for when the wind isn't blowing.
Leucate la Franqui
This is the site that hosts the Mondial du Vent every year. In an exceptional setting, at the foot of the Leucate cliffs, experienced kitesurfers will find a fabulous playground.
Chez Wesh

Canoe on the Bourdigou
There's more to life than kitesurfing, a more family-friendly activity: canoe or paddle down the Bourdigou to the sea from the village of Torreilles. A 4-hour trip will give you enough time to reach the beach and have lunch at Maya or Zaza, 2 top beach restaurants in Torreilles.
Vineyards
