Overview

Rotier is the ideal destination for carp fishing holidays with the family. You will be in the Sologne region in the heart of nature, with forests and wild animals. Nearby are the most beautiful of the Loire chateaux and the world-renowned Beauval Zoo. Everything is here for the family.

If you dream of a place where you can beat your PB and have a good time in the pool as well, you are in the right place. You’ll be staying in a roomy, 10-personne lodge with private, heated swimming pool and tennis court. The 15-acre lake is yours exclusively (7 anglers maximum) with no fishing permit required. It is full of magnificent carp of up to 53 lbs. You’ll also have the opportunity to battle with the lake’s monsters; catfish up to 178 lbs. what an adrenaline rush!

For large groups/big families, you can rent Rotier and Sapiniere which are both part of the same domain. In that case, you would have both lodges (up to 20 people) and 3 lakes (13 anglers maximum)

Lake

Rotier is a 15-acre lake just 100 metres from the lodge. You will be able to use any swim you wish and freely fish the entire lake. As the owner is a fish-farmer, you will encounter some spectacular carp which will give you the fight of your life. Re-stocking is done every year to augment it and to keep the angling interesting.

As the depths are only down to about 1 m 50, you will find the challenge of combat even greater. Up to you to play!

For large groups/big families, you can rent Rotier and Sapiniere which are both part of the same domain. In that case, you would have both lodges (up to 20 people) and 3 lakes (14 anglers maximum)

Fish

The average weight is around 25 lbs but there are many fish of over 35 lbs. there’s a strong population of Grass Carp up to 51 lbs. Finally, the kings of the lake are the catfish, though not in superior numbers, the specimen record is high; you have a good chance of catching one of these monsters, weighing up to 178 lbs and measuring more than 2m20.

The lodge is a real leisure/sports centre for the family; private tennis court (equipment provided), heated swimming pool with wave machine! A lovely patio, equipped with top-of-the range-Weber barbecue and heated parasol allows a lake view, no matter the weather.
