Exclusive Carp Fishing France.

Lac Solace is a 3 acre intimate gravel pit, unique for this region of France.

Facilities & Information
The lake hosts a maximum of 3 anglers fishing 3 rods each. There are 4 swims on the lake, all with access to features of clean and hard bottom areas, snags, gravel bars, weed beds and open water.

The facilities at Lac Solace will make your weeks stay very comfortable and a relaxing. There’s a cabin with kitchen, dining and sitting area, terrace and BBQ. There is a bio toilet, hot water shower, mains electricity and water pumped from a borehole.

Anglers are also able to load and unload your gear directly into your chosen swim.

Lac Solace is recognised as a big fish carp water for the Southern Loire Valley. The stock at Lac Solace is seriously impressive with 6 known 50+ fish to 55lbs, 12 or more 40’s, 15 or more 30’s and several very special upper 20’s.

We are also stocking another 4 awesome carp this winter over 35lbs to create one of the very best small waters in France. We feel Lac Solace is well on it’s way to becoming one of France’s premier big carp waters.

Our original stocking of fish have now settled, are well rested and have fed for over a year. They’re showing exceptional growth and have put on over 6lbs on average with no signs of slowing down.

We have another 5 incredible fish to complete the stock this winter and we’re sure they too will flourish in this incredibly rich lake. ​Our special mix of handpicked carp strains in Lac Solace all originate from a very famous French gene pools. We’ll continue to ensure their environment and feed program will continue to help these carp grow.
