ASCEA Voile Sportive
The Voile Sportive section of Association Sportive CEA-ST Grenoble is an active sailing club on Lac du Monteynard near Treffort in Isère, about 34 kilometres south of Grenoble. The club's own nautical base sits on roughly 1.2 hectares of A.C.A.S. land on the eastern shore of the lake and provides fleet access for dinghies, catamarans, windsurfing and kitesurfing, plus hangar, sail loft and camping. Alongside free sailing, the section runs July youth camps for ages 9 to 17, adult coaching and discovery days for groups, supervised by a state-qualified sailing instructor and further coaches. A distinctive feature is the modern club fleet including Optimist, Open Bic, ILCA/Laser, Hobie Cat and Surprise keelboats, together with a live webcam at Monteynard.
History

The centre is laid out on 1.2 hectares of A.C.A.S. land on the eastern shore of the lake and includes camping facilities. The Boat Commission provides members with a varied fleet of dinghies, catamarans and two Surprise keelboats and maintains the equipment largely through volunteers.

The base is open seasonally from May to October; daily in high summer and at weekends in the shoulder months.
