Bears Lake

Exclusive Carp Lake in France with Accommodation

Bears Lake Facilities

This is one of our most charming carp fishing lakes in France with accommodation - a private 2-bedroom apartment forming the top floor of the lakeside house, with its own exterior staircase from the driveway. The owner lives on site in the apartment below and is happy to offer advice if needed, but otherwise leaves you to enjoy your holiday.

Inside, the apartment opens into a comfortable living area with a seating area, dining table, satellite TV, and WiFi and central heating for the cooler months.

The fully equipped kitchen has a stove, oven/grill, fridge with freezer compartment, kettle, and all the cooking utensils and crockery you'll need - with a separate freezer on hand to store bait. The water connection is mains and therefore safe to drink.

There are two bedrooms: a twin with lake views, and a double with its own small balcony, where you can catch glimpses of the lake through the trees. A shower room with sink and WC completes the apartment, and all linen and towels are included.

Outside, you'll find a BBQ and a table and chairs for dining overlooking the lake. The whole venue is fully fenced with a lockable gate at the entrance.
