Overview
Grandes Cimes French Carp Lake is a 7-acre gravel pit with striking turquoise water, home to an impressive stock of approximately 250 carp and a lake record sitting at over 64lb. This venue is ideal for anglers seeking quality carp on a lake left deliberately very natural. It boasts an excellent average weight of around 30lb and a good head of carp over the 40lb mark.
The lake features just two spacious double swims, thoughtfully positioned to provide each pair of anglers with their own half of the lake, ensuring ample room and privacy. You can book one of these swims for up to two anglers or reserve the entire venue exclusively for groups of up to four.
Located in the pretty Champagne region of France, Grandes Cimes is easily accessible, just under a 4-hour drive from the port of Calais.
This venue is open throughout the winter, however the facilities are much more limited, please contact us to discuss.

Reviews
Joseph Watson
"A proper gem! Beautiful gin clear water, wild lake with hard fighting carp if you get on them, plenty of beauties can be had. Owner is a top class bloke, will help in any way possible. 100% recommend the lake to anyone."
Paul Robinson
"Biggest was 54lb 8oz mirror (PB), 2 x 40's , 1 x 30, 4 x 20's & 1 x 15lb 8oz mirror. The weather was up and down with a few thunderstorms so lots of rain but we still enjoyed our trip. Constant was great & always there if you needed him."
John Kittle
"23 landed: 55lb mirror, 42lb common, 11 x 30lb+. Yes, Grand Cimes is a good challenging lake that will make you think about your tactics and approach that if you get it right will reward you handsomely."

I wanted to turn this passion into an experience to share by offering fishing holidays designed for people who love nature, peace and beautiful catches. An experience created by a true enthusiast. Every stay is designed with one goal in mind: to give you the very best conditions to enjoy your passion to the fullest. Whether you are an experienced angler or a beginner looking to discover carp fishing you will find carefully selected swims, a lake rich in carp and a peaceful natural setting."
