Nestled in rural Brittany, this 25-hectare reservoir offers solid carp and tench fishing across a peaceful bank-only venue — perfect for anglers seeking a quieter alternative to busier French waters.

Practical note: You'll need a valid French fishing licence and AAPPMA membership for Rennes district; contact Union des Pêcheurs de Rennes beforehand to confirm access and any seasonal restrictions.
