Les Terres Blanches is a compact 6.8-hectare gravel pit in Aube offering solid carp fishing from the bank in an intimate setting, roughly 210 miles south of Calais. Day-fishing only with a mix of carp, pike, perch and tench means you'll need to plan your sessions carefully, but the smaller size works in your favour for reading the water and finding feeding fish. You'll need an AAPPMA day ticket from the local Aube association to fish here.
