Lake Exclusive Carp Fishing in the Heart of France

Welcome to Champ Chevaux — a private 5-acre French carp lake offering exclusive bookings, big fish, and serious action.

Our Estate Lake, stocked with 250–300 carp over 20lb, with fish to 55lb+, the lake consistently produces high catch rates alongside genuine big fish potential — the perfect combination for anglers looking for a rewarding France trip.

Set in the peaceful countryside of Le Veurdre, Champ Chevaux Estate Lake is available on a lake-exclusive basis for 2–5 anglers, giving you total privacy and the freedom to fish your way.

🎣 The Fishing

  • 5-acre Estate Lake with carp to 55lb+
  • 250–300 carp, all over 20lb
  • Consistent action — ideal for both runs and results

Whether you're targeting a new PB or enjoying action-packed sessions, the lake offers reliable fishing with the chance of something special.

🐟 Bonus: Catfish to 120lb+

While Champ Chevaux is primarily a carp-focused venue, our Estate Lake also holds large catfish, with fish recorded to over 120lb.

For anglers looking to add something different to their session, targeting catfish can provide an exciting extra challenge — without taking away from the excellent carp fishing.
