Lake Exclusive Carp Fishing Holidays in France.

Lac du Coron is a spring fed 4.5 acre carp lake nestled in the beautiful countryside of the Loire Valley in France.

Facilities & Information
Surrounded by vin yards and farmland this is one of the more picturesque venues you’re ever likely to fish. A natural fishery with natural swims and dense woodland, along with some stunning carp, is what keeps anglers returning to Lac du Coron year after year.

The lake is bookable on a lake exclusive basis up to four anglers. All of the 5 swims are on one bank meaning everyone has their own privacy but is also within a short distance from each other. The lake has reinforced banks, more than adequate swims and is only 5 minutes from towns, supermarkets, tabac’s and bakers.

On site facilities include the lodge with covered terrace, hot shower, kitchen, eco toilet, UK plugs for charging, BBQ and freezer for bait.

Lac Du Coron has been stocked with a selection of handpicked carp from various French and Dutch fish farms, meaning no fish look the same, they’re unique! The lake holds many 30, 40’s and two 50’s, but it’s not all about size and we’re proud to say we have some scaly stunners as well.

The food package is from 140€ per person and is available from Saturday – Saturday. This includes a breakfast and evening meal.
