The Cercle de Voile de Valenciennes was founded in 1964 by a few sailing enthusiasts who wanted to create an association.
Over the years, it has grown into a club with a strong reputation in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region, and with recognized sporting results.
The Cercle de Voile de Valenciennes is a dynamic club with 200 members and welcomes over 10,000 trainees throughout the year.
The club is located on the 54-hectare Etang du Vignoble, which faces the prevailing winds.
