15 min from the beaches of Leucate and La Franqui, home of the funboard tour
Every autumn, Leucate La Franqui hosts one of the major rounds of the BRETS Funboard Tour, the circuit of the French Funboard Association (AFF). Riders compete in slalom and windfoil slalom on the Plage des Coussoules, in the wind that made the spot famous. The 2026 final of the tour was held there from 23 to 25 October 2026, run by the Cercle de Voile du Cap Leucate with the AFF.
For everyone coming to race, coach or follow the competition, the Villa Container Fitou is fifteen minutes from the water. A large architect-designed house where you can store your boards, recover in peace and enjoy real comfort after a day in the wind and the cold.

Why stay in Fitou rather than on the seafront
The spot is a quarter of an hour away, but the villa sits high above Fitou, between the vineyards and the Leucate lagoon, well away from the bustle. In the morning you are on the water in minutes; in the evening you come back to peace and quiet, a heated pool and a real house rather than a hotel room. Out of season, it makes an ideal base for a multi-day camp or for the full length of a tour event.
Booking is direct, with no commission: the price shown is the price you pay. For a group, a team or a club, write to us via the contact page to agree the dates and the number of beds, or check availability straight away on the booking page.
The wind, the water, and the rest
Leucate is Europe's second-best watersports spot: beyond the funboard tour, windsurfing, kitesurfing and wingfoiling go on there for much of the year. Between sessions, the villa puts the beaches and spots of Leucate, the Fitou winemakers and the Michelin-starred Grand Cap within easy reach.
Frequently asked questions
How far is the villa from the AFF Funboard Tour spot?
The villa is about 15 minutes by car from the beaches of Leucate and La Franqui, where the tour is raced, on the Plage des Coussoules.
Is the villa suitable for a full windsurf team?
