Lac de la Fare is an intimate 8.8-hectare mountain lake in Savoie offering bank-only fishing for trout, pike and perch in a pristine Alpine setting — a refreshing change of pace from lowland venues, though note this is a day-fishing-only water (1st category). At 447 miles from Calais, it's best combined with other Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes destinations rather than tackled solo, but the scenery and peaceful vibes make it worth the drive for a multi-venue trip. You'll need to purchase a permit from the local AAPPMA (Amicale des Pêcheurs de l'Arc, La Chambre) before fishing.
