Carp Fishing Holidays in France with Accommodation & Swimming Pool.
Les Croix offers a unique stock of big carp to 70lb, luxury lakeside accommodation and a swimming pool.
Facilities & Information
The lake holds approximately 100 mirror carp and 40 common carp, with over 50% of the stock weighing in excess of 40lbs. There are at least 15 different fish in excess of 50lbs and several specimens are 60lbs+ going up to 70lbs. The fishing can be moderately difficult at times, however the size and quality of the fish means that even if just a few fish are feeding, there is a very good chance of catching something special during your trip.
In order to have pristine conditioned fish that are catchable in daylight there is a restriction on the hours of fishing from 06:00 to 22:00. This takes the pressure off the carp, and has ensured that they continue to feed well in daylight as they are not being pressured around the clock.
Accommodation & Swimming Pool
Guests have exclusive use of our modern fully equipped lakeside holiday cottage. Only thirty metres from and overlooking the lake, in a very private sunny location with oak woodland at the rear, the 65 square metre property sleeps up to 5 people, with two bedrooms, (bedroom 1 – double room. bedroom 2 – two single beds.) One large sofa can accommodate a 5th person.
Kitchen/living room with two double leather sofas, dining area, 40″ TV with SKY HD Freeview channels, DVD player and a 200 title DVD library. There is a good 4G signal here, and wi-fi is available.
Bathroom with large luxury shower, wash basin, heated towel rail and English W/C. Kitchen has fan oven, gas hob, extractor fan, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, kettle, fridge freezer, crockery, pans, cutlery and plenty of workspace and cupboard storage.
Cleaning products are supplied. The gite is double glazed, well insulated and remains cool in summer and warm in the cooler months with heating in all rooms. Fans are provided for summer use. Outside you will find a covered tiled terrace area with large modern gas barbecue, table and chairs and the lawns leading down to the lake. Next to the terrace is the heated swimming pool and adjoining sun patio complete with seating area, table and chairs and sun loungers.
The accommodation is maintained in immaculate condition and is thoroughly cleaned before every change over – you will find it in spotless condition on your arrival. Gas, electricity, water and bed linen are all included in the price that you pay.
The pool is open from mid-June to mid-September as this is weather dependant. The accommodation is completely independant with its own gated access, and is situated on the opposite side of the lake to the owners’ house.
IMPORTANT
A maximum of 6 people are allowed on the site (4 adults two children). Fishing from the gite is not allowed – all anglers must stay with their rods in the swims at all times.

Advisory Note: Aside from angling ability and the variable feeding response of the carp, insufficient baiting is often the reason for poor catches. Discounted bait deals are offered with the intention of encouraging anglers to use more bait during a weeks visit which in turn should see more fish caught. Bait deals are supplied on the basis that all bait will be used on site during the holiday when it is purchased. For this reason bait purchased as part of a deal can not be taken off site, but can be stored here for future trips.
