Try Brittany Forest lakes. Formerly China Lakes.
Good Runs Water
2hrs from St Malo
Has a bar.
Full of fish, nice place, Good chance of a 40 or bigger (up to 79).
Nice place with all amenities.
Also has another lake (lake Noir) with big cats in it.

...plus a bar!
Vital component of a fishing holiday...and there are some serious whackers in there!

Bounty is going to be my choice of venue when my son is old enough for a dad's and lads trip (a few years off yet). Has everything onsite and ideal in regards to stocks and level of challenge (plus a bar!!)

Bounty’s perfect for you but a bit more than a two hour drive , more like four and that’s hacking it

Evening Gents,
I'm after a recommendation for my first French trip with my 14-year old son (he's a keen carper). The criteria I'm looking for:
- No more than 2 hours drive (from Chunnel or Pompey ferry).
- Bivvied up but access to freezer and showers.
- Small venue (max. 10 acres).
- Size not an issue, 20s and 30s plenty good enough.
- At the prolific/runs water end of the scale.
I have zero experience of French fishing so I'm keen to get some of the collective wisdom on here. Thanks in advance for your help.
John
