A Very Warm Welcome to Eden’s Lakes

Looking for a Carp Fishing Holiday in France that offers that bit extra? Then look no further – We are the answer to the question: “Where can we go carp fishing in France?”

Situated in the picturesque region of Limousin in South West France is Eden’s Lakes, a French Carp Fishing Holiday experience you will never forget.

Our French Carp Lakes have been stocked with big fish with amazing strength. Beautiful looking Carp that, hand-fed on our own boilies, pellets and maize, have really piled on the pounds. Their amazing strength and sheer beauty have astounded the anglers that have thoroughly enjoyed an unforgettable angling holiday with us.

Eden’s Lakes have been stocked with a high quality strain of carp, bred for their frame, their strength and their capacity to pile on the weight, the largest of which was stocked at 51lb in January 2005!! We keep a record of the carp that have been caught, and they have the ability to put on a phenomenal amount of weight. Just for example a carp caught in April 2005 weighed 35lb, the same carp came out in June 2005 at 37lb, it was caught several times more in 2005 and sustained its weight at 37lb. The same carp was caught in April 2006 and weighed 39lb 5oz then in June 2006 weighing in at 42lb!! This is just one of several carp that have put on 7lb (or more) in the last 14 months!!

Originally a fish farm itself (hence the high quality of the water and design of the lakes and stock ponds) Eden’s Lakes are set in over 14 hectares of idyllic countryside, with rolling fields, crops and trees as far as the eye can see. No major roads to ruin your peace and quiet, but only a few minutes drive to Boussac which boasts a new village square with outside eateries, bars, pizza restaurant, tabac, bakeries, hotel, post office, banks and two supermarkets. Although lots to offer, Boussac is a quiet village and hosts a traditional market on a Thursday morning. Alternatively, if you don’t want to leave the lake we offer a free shopping service. This has been very useful for those who don’t want to go anywhere but need food, cigarettes and even post cards sent!

Within four and a half hours drive of the port at Le Havre, and 90 minutes from Limoges airport, we are nearer than you think. Take advantage of our All-Inclusive package, and we will pick you up from the airport, provide your meals and supply you with fishing equipment.
