Lac Brulet is a compact, pristine mountain lake in Savoie offering day-only bank fishing for trout, pike and perch in stunning Alpine surroundings—though note it's classified 1st Category (no carp), so best suited to UK anglers keen to diversify beyond carp fishing. At just 1.14 hectares, it's intimate and peaceful, roughly 440 miles from Calais, making it a worthwhile detour for a mixed-species mountain break rather than a dedicated carp trip. You'll need a valid French fishing licence and membership with AAPPMA Lacs et Torrents (Bourg-St-Maurice) to fish here.

Savoie has only 4 designated night carp sites (Plans d'eau du Sauget, Reculfort, Lac d'Aiguebelette, Plan d'eau de Grésy-sur-Isère), all on advance reservation.
