Lac de la Partie is a compact Alpine natural lake in Savoie offering intimate bank fishing for trout, pike and perch in stunning mountain scenery—though it's worth noting this is a First Category trout water with day-fishing-only rules, so it caters more to coarse and predator anglers than dedicated carp fishers. At 3.1 hectares with no night fishing permitted, it's ideal if you're combining a French trip with mixed species fishing rather than planning a dedicated carp campaign. You'll need a valid French fishing licence and membership with AAPPMA Les Pêcheurs Mauriennans (based in St-Jean-de-Maurienne) to fish here.
Lac de la Partie is 451 miles from Calais. For UK anglers willing to make the drive into Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes — one of France's most varied fishing regions, with venues ranging from Alpine lakes to lowland reservoirs — the fishing is well worth it.
