Étang Neuf is a compact 13.5-hectare reservoir in Corrèze offering solid mixed fishing for carp, pike, perch and tench on the bank—ideal for a quieter, car-camping break away from busier French venues. Day fishing only, so plan for early starts and evening sessions on the bank; at 386 miles from Calais, it's a real expedition destination rather than a weekend run. You'll need an AAPPMA day ticket from the local fishing association—contact FDAAPPMA 19 to arrange access before you travel.
