Lac Faucille is an intimate high-altitude lake in Savoie offering day-only bank fishing for pike, trout and perch across just 1.6 hectares—a scenic mountain setting rather than a dedicated carp venue. At 447 miles from Calais, it's a serious commitment, best combined with other regional waters, and the alpine location means no night fishing due to weather conditions. You'll need to purchase a permit from the local AAPPMA (Amicale des Pêcheurs de l'Arc, based in La Chambre) and fish from the bank only.
Night fishing at Lac Faucille is not permitted. Night carp not authorised on this lake. Savoie has only 4 designated night carp sites (Plans d'eau du Sauget, Reculfort, Lac d'Aiguebelette, Plan d'eau de Grésy-sur-Isère), all on advance reservation. All other Savoie waters: night fishing prohibited. Source: savoiepeche.com Guide 2026 Anglers must leave the bank before dark.
Bivouac & overnight camping is permitted at Lac Faucille under standard French fishing law — one rod, within 10m of the water, no open fires.
