We know it can be difficult convincing the rest of the family that your carp fishing holiday will be the perfect getaway for them too. However, here are 7 amazing French carp fishing lakes with accommodation and pools that make the job easy!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Take a look at these;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 & 2. Mas Bas<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mas Bas is an 80-acre estate with two lakes specialising in exclusive carp fishing holidays that have facilities for everyone to enjoy. Both lakes (Main and Lotus) have their own house and private swimming pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s set in the heart of rural south-west France and the privacy of the site offers tranquil family holidays with excellent carp fishing on your doorstep. The fishing on both lakes is straight forward and the reviews<\/a> show they provides plenty of runs for everyone. If you don’t fancy the drive from the UK why not consider flying? The nearest airport, Bergerac, is approximately 1 hour away. Additionally, you can hire all your tackle & buy bait on-site so it\u2019s an easy option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Main Lake<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The main lake and house can accommodate groups of up to 11 people, with up to 4 anglers fishing the lake. The layout here is unbeatable too, because the house and private pool sit right on the lake with incredible views of the valley. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fishing offers carp to over 50lb<\/strong>, a good number at 30lb and 40lb+, and plenty of runs. Consequently it is a good choice for anglers of mixed experience or for letting non-anglers have a go too! You can fish from directly in front of the accommodation comfortably. Alternatively, for groups wishing to spread out, you can set up further around the lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A fireplace offers a roaring log fire for chillier nights and large patio doors open onto the terrace for the warmer ones! There’s a large dining area, comfy seating and BBQ overlooking the lake, offering plenty of space for everyone to relax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lotus Lake<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Charming cottage, private swimming pool, carp fishing from the terrace. You can\u2019t help but fall in love with this venue. People return again and again because the terrace is right on the lakeside, therefore the whole family can be together whilst your rods are out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The house is best suited to sleeping four people with a double and a twin room, although a third mezzanine bedroom does provide room for two more. The lake is ideal for one or two anglers to fish. We’d say this place is perfect if you’re introducing the kids or partners to fishing because it provides fun and easy action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are extensive gardens and you’ll find the private pool and sun lounger area here, tucked in the most beautiful valley. In conclusion, Mas Bas is a truly peaceful place to spend a week whether you’re fishing or not!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Vincons<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This beautiful spring fed 12 acre lake is home to a large stock of carp, meaning\u00a0most guests catch more fish than they thought possible! \u00a0Add a lodge where you can literally fish out of the front door and also a swimming pool<\/strong> just metres away to make this a dream holiday venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A maximum of 6 anglers can fish the lake and the lodge sleeps four in an open plan layout. There are also a further two proper bedrooms in an annex by the pool (one double and one twin).\u00a0It is very well suited for families and non angling guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lake itself is uncomplicated to fish, mainly because it isn’t snaggy and there aren’t any issues with weed. It is one of the few lakes we’d describe as a true ‘runs water’<\/strong>, for this reason it is perfect for novice anglers to learn too. Alternatively it is perfect for more experienced anglers that just want some pressure-free runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Landes<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Landes benefits from the lovely sunny climate of southern France, set in the heart of the Dordogne<\/a>. The four acre lake offers great fishing because of the quality carp stocked to over 57lb<\/strong>. You can fish from outside the accommodation and the grounds also have an extensive play area<\/strong> for any kids in the party. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Car hire is available for the week, or alternatively the owners can arrange a transfer service by prior agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
