French Carp Fishing Holidays

Lac de Beauté is an English owned and run family friendly lake sitting in the picturesque countryside of western France, about 3 hours from the ferry port of Caen. It’s surrounded by Canadian pines and is rich in wildlife - squirrels, rabbits, multi-coloured kingfishers and owls are frequent visitors. It’s situated about 10 minutes south of the world famous Le Mans racetrack and there’s a range of local shops about 2 minutes drive away which includes a chemist, butchers, bakers, tobacconist and a supermarket.

The lake is approximately 3 acres in size, sitting in 5 acres of land, and is around 37 years old. It’s fed from a natural spring and has a sand and gravel bed.

There are five well spaced swims, one of which is a double, accommodating up to five anglers. Fishing is from one bank which gives easy access to the far margin features. The banks are flat and grassy and have ample room for bivvies.

Lac de Beauté has a very good stock of carp which almost guarantees plenty of rod bending action! There were 200 carp introduced  in 2005 including 10 big carp between 43lb and 54lb 10oz with now at least one in the 60s, five in the 50s, numerous 40s and an abundance of 30s. The lake also offers catfish to 100lbs+, the smallest of cats is 45lb, and don't forget the sturgeons to 40lb.
 

To make things a bit more luxurious for our "Drive and Survive" anglers we have lots of extra facilities including 2 full body power showers, flush toilet, fridge, freezer, two ring hob, microwave, kettle and tea/coffee/sugar & milk.

This venue is well suited for disabled anglers as there is good access to the shower block via a concrete wheel chair ramp and extra wide doors. The owner, Alex, is always on hand to assist the disabled angler with any aspect of his/her fishing and actively welcomes disabled fisherman.

There are also 2 modern mobile homes on site which can be hired. They are very comfortable and comprise a large lounge area with  sky tv / dvd, a fully equipped kitchen area with fridge, freezer and pots, pans & cutlery - all you need to bring is your own towels and tea towels. Bedding is provided and it will sleep up to 6 people and 1 small child (1 double room, 1 room with 2 small singles and small child’s pull down bed in the 2nd bedroom). It also has a large shower cubicle, toilet and washbasin.
