Lac du Loup is a compact, intimate 1.67-hectare natural lake in the Savoie Alps offering pristine day-fishing opportunities for trout, pike and perch in stunning mountain scenery—perfect if you're seeking a change of pace from French carp waters. Bank fishing only, with no night sessions allowed (1st category waters), so plan your visit accordingly. You'll need an AAPPMA licence from Albertville and should contact them in advance, as this intimate venue may have seasonal restrictions typical of alpine trout lakes.
At 437 miles from Calais, Lac du Loup requires a longer journey from the UK, but Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes — one of France's most varied fishing regions, with venues ranging from Alpine lakes to lowland reservoirs — rewards the trip.
