+          * Étang de Berre is a lagoon/lake fed freshwater by rivers and canals and connected to the Mediterranean by a canal
           * **Best wind direction**: Wind from the North, from full North to North-West, (very rare North-East) \\ **Best season**: From April / May to September / October. July / August: perfect to try it out for the first time. Be careful in the winter months with the strong winds of the Mistral because the water is very cold, between 5 and 7 °C. And this run gets far from land, working with a wind that is more off shore the more northerly the wind is. (//Ed. At least it is enclosed in the lagoon, the coastal runs with an offshore wind can send you toward Corsica, Sardinia, or Africa//)
