Lacs Verdet, Savoie
This intimate 2-hectare mountain lake in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes sits at high altitude and offers day-fishing only for brown trout, rainbow trout, pike and perch — a scenic alternative if you're exploring beyond traditional lowland carp venues. Bank fishing exclusively, no boats, makes it accessible but demands careful approach work. At 439 miles from Calais, it's a worthwhile detour for mixed species anglers seeking alpine scenery rather than a dedicated carp destination.
Practical note: Contact AAPPMA Lacs et Torrents (Bourg-St-Maurice) for a day permit and confirm current species stock before travel.
