Lacs de Marinet is a compact, scenic high-altitude lake in the Ubaye valley offering bank fishing for pike, perch and tench in a pristine Alpine setting—a rewarding change of pace from lowland French commercials. Day fishing only, no boats, so expect a quieter, more intimate experience than larger venues, though this isn't a dedicated carp destination. Note: you'll need a valid French fishing licence and AAPPMA membership from Fédération Pêche Alpes-de-Haute-Provence; at 499 miles from Calais, factor in significant travel time to this remote location.
Night fishing at Lacs de Marinet is not permitted. Night carp not authorised on this mountain/alpine lake. Only 4 specific lowland plans d'eau in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence have night carp authorisation (Lac de la Forestière, Buissonnades Est/Sud, Lac du Brunet, Retenue de Castillon). Source: AP n°2025-029-006 — peche04.fr Anglers must leave the bank before dark.
