This beautiful, established lake in the glorious “Champagne” region of France is approximately 3 hours drive from Calais.

The choice of our Inclusive Package or Self Drive holiday, the option of ‘specimen’ or ‘action’ fishing, together with the exceptional standard of facilities, makes this one of the most appealing and versatile French venues.

The two lake complex - composed of Willow and Orchard lakes - nestles in a gorgeous rural setting and was the location for the recent “Champagne Carping” DVD.

English owned and run, these waters are presented with every thought directed to the angler’s needs. A considerable amount of planning and hard work has been undertaken with the aim of creating a unique fishing experience: gravel paths and swims, full, modern on-site facilities, cooking and BBQ areas, hot massaging showers, clean toilets, a social lodge, mains electricity, ample and secure gravelled car park and, of course, countless carp to over 60lb.
In addition this superb venue is fenced and has lockable security gates.
All amenities, including a large supermarket, restaurants and local shops etc. are only minutes away.

Orchard Lake is well established and tree lined for total privacy. Since its opening in April 2003, the results have been truly amazing and won the affection of hundreds of anglers. Many have achieved their personal best time and time again, landing not only large carp but, in many cases, incredibly large catches too!
The lake itself is just seven acres and will accommodate a maximum of 6 anglers, offering the opportunity to move swims if required. It has a gravel bottom with an average depth of around 6ft with marginal depths of around 4ft. The lake is designed as an ‘all action’ water and is heavily stocked with carp to 50lb-plus and catfish and sturgeon to 70lb-plus helping to ensure a prolific, rod-bending, arm-aching, fun filled holiday.

Without doubt, this exceptional venue has all the ingredients for a fantastic and memorable angling holiday experience.
