Lac de la Plagne is a modest natural lake in the Savoie Alps offering intimate day-fishing for pike and perch alongside trout species — ideal if you're seeking a scenic break from lowland carp venues. Bank fishing only in this 1st category water means you'll need early starts and can't fish through the night, but the alpine setting and pike potential make it worth considering as a secondary destination. You'll need a valid French fishing licence and membership with AAPPMA La Gaule Tarine (Moûtiers) — contact them ahead of your trip to confirm access and any seasonal restrictions.
Lac de la Plagne is 442 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.
