Lake
This 6-acre quarry in calm and beautiful countryside comprises 2 swims :
• Swim 1: 2 anglers with 3 rods each; From here, you can fish the stone-bottomed depths as well as the edges and middle of the lake.
• Swim 2: the floating chalet is situated in the middle of the lake and can accommodate 2 anglers plus 1 or 2 non-anglers. There’s 26m2 of living space and a 16m2 terrace/patio. A boat is at your disposal for reaching the chalet as well as for setting your lines. There’s a pontoon on the bank for you to stow your equipment safely into and off the boat. Life-jackets are supplied, found in the chalet.
The chalet located in the middle of the water allows both open-water fishing (depth between 1m and 2m50) and on the lake- edge. There are water lilies in the recess on the right, the fish are ‘hide’ there all year round.

September 4, 2023 at 9:16 amReturning after two years since our first visit, this spectacular lake did not disappoint our expectations. 30 fish were landed on the bank between three anglers with at least another 15 runs being lost to hook pulls in marginal snags and some weed that had appeared this summer which is not normally present according to the owner. Never the less that’s all part of fishing.
The facilities are clean and well laid out now. This time we did not stay in the cabin as we had experienced that two years ago but fished the gravel swim which easily accommodated three anglers and gave us good access to the majority of the lake. If you want a few sleepless nights and some fish that battle hard, then I would highly recommend this lake. The key we found was to stick to the margins and overhangs. The bottom is a nice firm gravel along the margins and the fish seem to like the safety on the snags.

July 8, 2023 at 8:02 pmWe stayed at Champagne Lake this week and had a great time, it was our first trip to France and this lake was the perfect choice. The fishing was relatively easy going and we caught many upper 30 lb carp and a mid forty over the week. In total we caught over 30 carp between us.
Florian the lake owner was helpful and welcoming but left us alone throughout the week to get on with our fishing which is always a positive.
I would highly recommend Champagne Lake to anyone going to France and we will definitely go back next year.

April 24, 2023 at 2:55 pmWe stayed at Champagne Lake last week and had a wonderful time. We hired the lake for ourselves which was a good idea as it gave us extra options and the chance to move around. Between us we had 30 fish and many of them were 30lb plus. My friend Lloyd managed to bank the biggest of the week which was a Grass Carp at 42lb. I personally had a PB at 38lb and my friend Francis managed to land 20 carp which included a couple of upper 30’s. Florian the lake owner was helpful and welcomed us on the first day but left us alone throughout the week to get on with our fishing. It was our first trip to France and this lake was a perfect choice and exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend Champagne Lake to anyone going to France and we will definitely go back at some point in the future

April 15, 2023 at 5:06 pmHad a great trip in the floating cabin at Champagne lake, fishing was good and facilities have been upgraded which was a nice surprise.
Owner is very friendly and more than happy to help with spots or anything else you need. Was there to greet me and then completely left us alone, always there on WhatsApp if required tho.
Had 20 fish in total and didn’t really fish through middle part of the days.
Would definitely revisit

June 28, 2021 at 8:47 amJust to let you know we had a great time at Champagne lake.
Although the top layer did not visit our bank we managed to catch 18 fish from 10.2 to 15.3 kg and lost a few carp. (Rods out from friday 15:00 till tuesday 08:00)
It’s a beautiful lake with a lot of snags which make it very interesting. Fishing out of the chalet was a great experience.
Florian is a fine host and let you do your own fishing without a book of rules ?.
Also like to thank you for your assistance during the booking process and quick responses during.
