Set in the peaceful countryside of northern France, this unique fishing holiday retreat offers something completely different from the traditional carp fishing holiday in France. Combining luxury accommodation with private access to two lakes and an exclusive stretch of the River Bresle, it’s the ideal choice for anglers looking to mix fishing with relaxation, family time, and exploring the French countryside.

Positioned within over 100 hectares of beautiful rural landscape, this renovated French cottage delivers a premium stay for anglers, couples, families, or small groups wanting a peaceful fishing holiday in France. Unlike many France carp fishing lakes focused purely on big carp, this venue offers a varied fishing experience with mixed species and a more relaxed approach to angling. It’s ideal for those who enjoy action-packed fishing, predator fishing, and light specimen fishing in a private setting.

The accommodation has been restored to a high standard, blending modern comfort with traditional French character. Open-plan living spaces, spacious dining areas, stylish bedrooms, and landscaped gardens create a comfortable base for your stay. A private hot tub, outdoor dining space, and BBQ-friendly garden make it perfect for winding down after time on the bank or river.

Fishing access includes two private lakes of 7 acres and 3 acres, and your own stretch of river of roughly 1 kilometre, offering a varied and exciting angling experience. Expect species such as pike, trout, perch, smaller carp, and other coarse fish, making this an excellent option for anglers who enjoy mixed-species fishing holidays in France rather than targeting only big carp. Night fishing is not allowed.

Located in the heart of the historic Somme region, this French fishing holiday also offers easy access to beaches, local culture, and nearby attractions, making it ideal for anglers travelling from the UK who want more than just fishing. Whether you’re planning a relaxed drive and survive fishing trip to France or a family fishing holiday with luxury accommodation, this venue offers a memorable private fishing experience with something for everyone.

This venue offers a varied mixed-species fishing experience rather than a traditional big carp water, making it perfect for anglers who enjoy diversity and regular action.

The two lakes and private river stretch hold healthy stocks of pike, trout, perch, smaller carp, and other coarse species. Predator anglers will enjoy targeting hard-fighting pike and perch, while trout fishing adds another exciting dimension to the stay.

While this is not a specimen carp fishing venue or a big carp fishing holiday destination, it offers enjoyable sport, peaceful surroundings, and the opportunity to fish multiple waters in one trip. Ideal for anglers who appreciate quality fishing experiences over chasing PB-sized carp.

For families, casual anglers, or groups wanting a flexible fishing holiday in France, the variety of species makes every session different and keeps the action flowing.
Bait requirements can vary depending on which water you choose to fish during your stay, so it’s recommended to check in advance before travelling.

For anglers travelling from the UK, bringing a selection of mixed-species bait is advisable, including pellets, deadbaits for predator fishing, and general coarse fishing bait options.

Local bait advice can be provided on enquiry, helping you prepare for the best possible fishing sessions during your stay.

The varied fishing on offer makes simple bait preparation easy, making this an ideal fishing holiday option for anglers wanting a relaxed and convenient French fishing break.
