Fishing

One of the main activities on site is of course fishing.

The caravan site has two fishing lakes. The top lake, which is set in, the

wooded area is mainly for experienced fishermen, with Carp at up to

35lb plus.  A small daily fee is charged for this and all catches must be

released. In May 2005 within 3 hours one of our guests bagged a total

catch of 140lb. He was so pleased with the fishing on site he booked again for later in the year bringing the whole family for a holiday in France. The bottom lake is of mixed fish and is free of charge to all guests in our mobile homes and 6€ for Caravanner's /campers gain our policy is catch and release. The lake is an ideal spot for eating out at night on the island where picnic benches are set aside for such activities (very romantic in the moonlight)

                                                             If you wish to go fishing in France, you are required to obtain a fishing permit                                                                                                             From  the local fishing tackle shop a short drive away in Montendré.

                                                                   There are lots of ideal locations for day fishing in Charente Maritime, which we                                                                     are more than happy to help with.
