C.E.S.M. Saint-Florent - Centre d'Études Sous-Marines

Exceptional. A wonderful team, especially with the children; a real pleasure and an unforgettable memory for our boys. Thank you for this experience!

The staff is really friendly. The food is good, maybe even a little too good. It's true the accommodation is a bit basic, but the bedding has just been replaced. You can go diving, sailing, and kayaking there.

We spend at least a week here every year. My son has been taking sailing lessons every summer for 10 years (the kids have to be 6 to start) and has passed his level I diving. Next year he plans to go as a volunteer instructor! We share a family room, communal showers and canteen meals. This is not luxury, except you are 10 metres from the beach (which counts as luxury to me). You have to be doing a 'stage' either sailing or diving to stay at the club, but people from the surrounding camp grounds & hotels come to learn to sail or dive, or rent a kayak or a hobicat. It is an association, so the goal is not profit, it is to share the love of water sports on and under the sea. We have booked for this year too and hopefully it will be possible. I know that diving is considered covid safe and the debate goes back and forth in terms of sailing, but for the moment I think it is considered safe. I hope so. But they tell me that we can cancel at anytime if things change :)
