Overview

Villefond is an 8-acre big fish water, with the charm and intimacy of a small English estate lake. You're likely to see plenty of 40lb+ carp on the bank, and the chance of 65lb+ mirrors and commons too.

Villefond is not a runs water and the carp will test your angling skills... but get your presentation right, encourage the fish to feed confidently, and you will experience some amazing and memorable carp fishing. There are 6 well placed single swims and a double swim on the lake - this is for a maximum of 5 anglers on non-exclusive weeks (swim draw on arrival) and a maximum of 6 anglers on exclusive weeks.

In 2026, a new angler’s cabin was installed, offering a comfortable and well-equipped social area on site. The cabin includes a full kitchenette, a modern shower room, and a spacious chill-out area with a sofa, darts board and pool table - ideal for relaxing between sessions. You can buy bait on site and an optional food package is also available, with meals conveniently delivered directly to your swim.

For those seeking a simpler shelter, a further compact cabin with a bed is discreetly located on Swim 8, providing a small step up in comfort from a traditional bivvy.

The complex is completely secure and can be found down a little used country road in a very tranquil corner of France. If targeting large carp in beautiful surroundings is your goal then it’s definitely a venue that you should visit for your carp fishing in France.

"I discovered fishing as a child, starting with roach and perch on maggots and gradually moving on to small carp and then bigger ones, always encouraged by my parents, Debbie and John. After trips to France chasing truly massive carp with friends and family, we realised owning our own lake would be a dream worth pursuing - and by sheer luck, the opportunity came along at Villefond over 10 years ago now. We're incredibly passionate about growing on our big carp and we aim to give every guest a very warm welcome."
