Nestled in the peaceful countryside of Vailly-sur-Aisne in the Hauts-de-France region, Lac Olivia offers a unique carp fishing holiday in France for anglers seeking privacy, comfort, and quality fishing. Located just 2.5 hours from Calais, this exclusive French carp fishing venue is easily accessible for UK anglers looking for a hassle-free drive and survive carp fishing experience.
Set within 8.5 acres of secluded countryside, the venue comprises two intimate gravel pit lakes, Vault Lake and Vintage Lake. Surrounded by mature poplar trees and far removed from roads, traffic, and artificial light, the fishery delivers the kind of tranquillity many anglers search for when planning a carp fishing holiday in France. Despite its peaceful setting, local amenities including bakeries, cafés, restaurants, and shops are only a short distance away.
Lac Olivia is designed around flexibility and exclusivity. Anglers can reserve Vault Lake or Vintage Lake individually for a private lake experience, or book the entire venue for groups of up to eight anglers. The central-bank swim layout creates a sociable atmosphere, making it an excellent choice for friends’ trips, club holidays, and anglers wanting to enjoy quality fishing together without compromising on space.
Vault Lake covers approximately 2.7 acres and is stocked with an exciting younger generation of carp, including stunning mirror carp and commons approaching 50lb. The lake offers consistent action and suits anglers looking for regular opportunities and multiple captures throughout their session.
Vintage Lake, at just under 3 acres, is home to a more established stock of mature fish. With carp exceeding 50lb, deeper areas, and well-defined features, it offers a rewarding challenge for anglers targeting specimen carp and potential personal bests. Whether you are looking for action-packed fishing or a chance of landing a true French giant, Lac Olivia provides a memorable carp fishing experience in northern France.
Combining exclusive bookings, modern facilities, secure surroundings, and impressive fish stocks, Lac Olivia stands out as an excellent destination for anglers planning a private carp fishing holiday in France.
