Take-off
Not very wide, but because it's a hanggliding site also, it is quite long ;-)

Local weather notes
By strong North wind, going to the south just a bit might put you in impossibility to come back, even to the official landing. Better stay North from take off. Webcam: https://www.skaping.com/grandlac/revard
