Lac de Montriond, Haute-Savoie
This pristine 28-hectare alpine lake in the Chablais region is a scenic 400-mile haul from Calais, better suited to trout and pike anglers than carpers—it's a 1st category water with no night fishing allowed. The absence of motorboats makes it peaceful for float-tubers and oar rowers targeting pike and perch, though carp aren't listed as a present species. You'll need a permit from AAPPMA du Chablais-Genevois and a French fishing licence.
