In Montauroux, on Lac de Saint-Cassien, Aviron Formation Var is a watersports centre focused on learning and improving rowing skills. The calm lake, with no commercial boat traffic and few motorboats, is particularly well suited to technical courses and training, especially outside the peak season.
What type of experience?
The centre welcomes rowers on skills-development courses, groups and clubs looking to work on technique, endurance and coordination over several days. Amateur courses are also organised: this is therefore not a centre exclusively for elite competitors.
What rowers appreciate
Lac de Saint-Cassien offers long stretches of navigable water in a protected environment, making it possible to cover distance without the constraints of a busy urban rowing basin. Every year, the centre welcomes many French and international rowers who come specifically to train.
Before you visit
This is more of a training and course centre than an attraction where visitors simply turn up to hire a boat by the hour. For an initial introduction or a training stay in 2026, contact the centre in advance to check the available format, required level and equipment provided.
