Overview
* New for 2026 *
Zentelles is a 7 acre gravel pit tucked away in the Marne region of north-east France, an easy 3hr40 drive from the port of Calais. The lake remained untouched by anglers for over 30 years and since 2021 has been developed carefully by Thierry and Amandine, preserving its natural character.
Rich in features, it is perfectly suited to anglers who enjoy fishing a more natural lake with a quality head of around 200 carp to over 59lb.
The lake has been carefully laid out with just 3 double swims for a total of 6 anglers. Each swim has electric, a BBQ, picnic table, its own dry toilet and an area to park your vehicle... quite luxurious for a drive and survive we'd say!
You can prebook individual double swims here or it is perfectly suited for groups looking to hire a lake privately.

Reviews
Jean & Stéphane
"Top! The lake is really cool, a big head of carp and the facilities are excellent, you can tell everything was done by a passionate person. It's super clean and everything is well-maintained. Thierry is a really nice guy who still has some great projects in store for us to come. It's very technical and the environment remains wild. If you're coming to sleep at night, forget it... or wind in your lines ;-) We'll definitely be back!"
Francois Degrave
"Excellent place, a great setting with a beautiful stock of fish, top-notch owner who is attentive to the anglers. I recommend it 1000 times!"
Remy Maizieres
"A clean, well-maintained spot for anglers, yet wild and perfect for fishing. A warm and friendly welcome from Thierry, a passionate angler. Very clean restrooms, a gravel access path and magnificent fish. Thank you for this wonderful stay."

Amandine & Thierry
"We are lifelong fishing enthusiasts, especially carp fishing. In 2021, we acquired Zentelles, with the aim of creating a place entirely dedicated to anglers, in a peaceful and unspoiled setting, where everyone can fully enjoy their fishing trip in the best possible conditions. In 2024, we continued this adventure with a second venue, Le Sauci, which we are developing with great care to offer quality fishing. Our goal is simple: to offer anglers lakes teeming with carp, well-managed, with particular attention paid to respecting the fish, preserving the tranquility of the area and ensuring the comfort of our anglers. We're keen to share our passion and do everything we can to welcome French and international anglers."
