Thinking about taking the family and driving to France in May & maybe indulge myself in a little kiting at the same time.

ny suggestions as to which regions, towns, beaches etc I should be looking at.

Bearing in mind I don't have a van

Its pretty much all good bud, I went with the family for 3 weeks last year, and only used 1 twin tip and my 11 meter sonic the whole time. Id have liked having a 15 for a few sessions, but as I had the famaily I went for the 1 kite does all option. Think about getting the storm rider, or storm rider wind and surf guide to europe

hi Nigel i think i have posted a reply on this subject somewhere else.
jolouville; west beach plouharnel (quiberon penninsular, near Vanne can also use over the road for easterlys) and if you want big waves and warmth down towards arcachon.... biscareaux, lacanau, hourtin plage and lacanaux lake by hourtin port. there are loads even noirmoutier.
these are the areas that you can get decent swell. point de la torche south brittany can be huge.
pull up google earth and have a look!!!! you might see me

Cheers for the info chaps, will be looking into this in more detail very soon.

Thanks again.
