Lac du Loubet is a compact 43-hectare Alpine reservoir in Provence offering day-only fishing for carp, pike, perch and bream in a scenic mountain setting—ideal if you're combining a carp session with a broader French fishing trip. The no-boats policy and day-fishing-only restriction mean you'll be fishing from the bank with good accessibility, making it a straightforward option around 520 miles south of Calais. Check night-fishing permissions directly with AAPPMA des Alpes-de-Haute-Provence before travel, and obtain your required French fishing permit from the local AAPPMA.
At 519 miles from Calais, Lac du Loubet requires a longer journey from the UK, but Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur — a stunning region with mountain lakes, large reservoirs and excellent carp fishing in the south — rewards the trip.
