Cherpont Fising Lake

Cherpont Lake is set in 65 acres in the rolling hills of the Limousin region in Central Massif France and was created in the early 19th century, giving it a Cassini status. Cherpont is a 39-acre, river-fed, mature lake, in a peaceful, secluded setting with tree lined banks and beautiful views of the surrounding hills and country side.

The average weight is 34lbs and there are around 20 fish over 50lbs and there is a good chance of achieving a PB here when fishing for big carp. A maximum of 15 anglers can fish at any one time to make sure everyone gets their fair share of the action. So if you're looking for some of the best carp fishing in France , look no further than Etang de Cherpont.
