Étang de Chevigny is a compact 23-hectare Jurassien reservoir offering genuine mixed fishing for carp, catfish, pike and tench from the bank — ideal if you're exploring beyond the classic carp lakes. Day fishing only under local AAPPMA rules means you'll need to plan shorter sessions, though the peaceful setting and diverse species list make it worth the 336-mile trek from Calais for anglers wanting something different. You'll need a French fishing licence and AAPPMA membership (La Gaule Lédonienne, Lons-le-Saunier) before wetting a line.
