Mare dite le Bançon is a small, intimate 2.87-hectare pond in Haute-Saône offering pike, perch and tench in a peaceful, protected setting ideal for a quieter break from busier venues—though note this is bank fishing only with no night sessions permitted. Located 295 miles from Calais, it's best suited to anglers seeking a relaxed day session rather than intensive carp-focused trips.
