This 21.5-hectare gravel pit near Compiègne holds a solid mix of carp, tench, bream and pike, making it a versatile day-session venue ideal for UK anglers wanting a quieter alternative to busier French destinations. Bank fishing only across what's essentially a former extraction lake, so expect classic gravel-pit structure with varied depths and staging areas. Day fishing only applies here, so plan accordingly—you'll need an AAPPMA permit from the Oise federation to fish legally.
