Nestled in the Alpine foothills of Haute-Savoie, this intimate 16-hectare natural lake offers a peaceful alternative to busier French venues, with solid populations of carp, tench, and bream across its shallow margins and deeper zones. Bank fishing only, no night sessions—ideal if you want a relaxed daytime session in stunning mountain scenery roughly 400 miles from Calais. You'll need an AAPPMA licence from du Faucigny and must contact the local federation before your visit, as this smaller venue operates stricter access rules than commercial fisheries.
