General Comments:

The swims need a bit of tlc if you struggle to bend down swims 5 and 6 are quite high up from the wate,r could do with platforms to make netting and lifting fish easier.

General Comments:

The only critism and it has no bearing on the owners of Villefond. We could have done with a closer ferry port. The drive was exhausting.

I was told on the phone the dearest toll wad €25.00. It was actually €94.00 luckily we had enough money to cover the unexpected expenditure. Angling lines knew we were taking two vans over and the sizes.
I suggest Angling lines do more research.

*Angling Lines note* Thank you for your feedback and we are very sorry if you were advised this, we would usually direct customers to a website such as ViaMichelin where you can put your route and vehicle details it - it then gives you an estimation of tolls and fuel.

General Comments:

My first ever time fishing in France, couldn’t of picked a better venue, not just for the monster carp but the accommodation and food package and facilities excellent.

Mark was a fantastic guide, at the start of the week explaining everything about the lake and fish, where to how to etc, make sure to gain all you can from him at the start of the session as they don’t give up easily as you think so listen to Mark and you’ll get on just fine. John also a cracking help when it comes to the fishing side of things again so listen to him. Debbie a great cook would defo recommend the place for a couple holiday as my girlfriend had a wonderful time.

Memories I will cherish for ever.
Thank you Mark, John and Debbie.
