Étang du Grand Beauregard is a compact 16-hectare reservoir in Bourgogne offering solid mixed fishing for carp, tench, and bream in a quieter setting—ideal if you want to escape the busier tourist waters. Day-fishing only (bank fishing) keeps pressure light, though the 311-mile distance from Calais means this is best combined with other venues in the region. You'll need an AAPPMA permit from Saint-Germain-du-Bois – Étangs to fish legally.
