Lac Blanc is a pristine high-altitude mountain lake in Savoie offering day-only bank fishing for trout, pike and perch in stunning Alpine scenery—a refreshing change of pace from lowland French carp venues. At just 4.5 hectares, it's intimate and uncrowded, perfect for a focused trip if you're prepared for the 461-mile journey from Calais and want to escape the typical carp circuit. You'll need a valid French fishing licence and membership with AAPPMA La Gaule Mauriennaise (based in Modane) to fish here.
