Étang Beaumont is a compact 10.5-hectare reservoir in the Loire valley offering solid carp fishing alongside pike and tench in a peaceful, undeveloped setting ideal for a relaxing trip away from busier French venues. Day fishing only applies here, so plan accordingly—this is a bank-only water managed by the local AAPPMA with straightforward access for UK anglers seeking something low-key rather than record-breaking. You'll need an AAPPMA membership card and French fishing licence; contact La Ferté-Saint-Cyr AAPPMA in advance to confirm current terms, as smaller federation waters sometimes have specific seasonal or permit requirements.
