Lac Longet is a tiny, pristine high-altitude mountain lake in Savoie that's a world away from typical French carp venues — this is trout and pike country, not a carp destination. Bank fishing only in a stunning alpine setting, day-use only, roughly 445 miles from Calais and best suited to trout or pike anglers seeking something genuinely different. Check with AAPPMA Les Pêcheurs Mauriennais (St-Jean-de-Maurienne) for access and a day licence before visiting.
Night fishing at Lac Longet 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.
