Plan d'Eau d'Arfeuille is a compact 13.8-hectare reservoir in the Limousin region offering solid carp fishing alongside pike and tench in a peaceful, undeveloped setting—perfect if you're seeking quieter water away from busier venues. Day fishing only and bank access exclusively mean you'll need to plan your session timing carefully, though the intimate size makes it manageable for methodical anglers. You'll need a valid French fishing licence and membership with AAPPMA Corrèze; contact FDAAPPMA 19 beforehand to confirm current access and any seasonal restrictions.
At 376 miles from Calais, Plan d'Eau d'Arfeuille requires a longer journey from the UK, but Nouvelle-Aquitaine — a vast region stretching from the Dordogne to the Basque Country, with outstanding fishing across its many departments — rewards the trip.
