This intimate 15-hectare reservoir in Loiret offers quality carp fishing in a peaceful setting, with healthy populations of tench and bream alongside your target species. Day fishing only and bank access keeps the venue quiet and uncrowded—perfect for anglers seeking a relaxed, focused session away from heavier pressure waters. Located 234 miles south of Calais, it's ideal as part of a longer Loire Valley fishing tour rather than a quick trip.
