Étang de Mezouët is a peaceful 10-hectare intimate water in deepest Brittany, offering quality carp alongside pike and tench from the bank.

You'll need a French fishing licence and an AAPPMA permit from the Plélauff association; at 300 miles from Calais, it's a committed journey but rewards patience with decent fish in serene surroundings.
