Grandes Cimes

Grandes Cimes Facilities

The facilities here are very basic, a classic 'drive and survive' fishing week.

On-site, you’ll find a dry toilet located at each swim. There is no fridge or freezer here, so we recommend taking your own cooler, gas camping fridge or similar.

Please note that there is no mains electricity for charging your items. Since your vehicle will be parked at your swim, we recommend using it to charge smaller items such as phones.

For larger power needs, like charging big batteries, we suggest bringing a leisure battery and/or portable power packs to ensure you’re fully equipped. The bailiff is also happy to collect batteries or items to charge and return to you the next day if needed.

Phone signal and 3G/4G coverage is good, though this may vary depending on your provider. Please be aware that there is no WiFi available on-site.

Water supply

Historically, the tap water at the lake was never suitable for drinking, and anglers have always been required to bring their own drinking water. This remains unchanged. What has changed since the winter of 2025 is that there will now be no lakeside tap for general-use water (washing dishes, cleaning, etc.). Anglers will therefore need to bring a suitable container to hold non-drinking water for lakeside use.

Water can be refilled for free at a water point in the village, 3.1km from the lake (a 6 minute drive - see google maps here).

Showers (off site)

Customers are able to take showers at Au Bon Accueil, located 4.6 km from the lake (a 7 minute drive - see google maps here):

Au Bon Accueil
1 Route de Bourgogne
10390 Clerey

Customers may use the shower facilities at the venue, which is open Monday-Friday.
The cost is €2 per shower.
The venue/cafe requires one purchase (for example a drink) when using the facilities.
