Carp France - The Fishing Holiday Specialists

Poplars Lake is a 2.5 acre lake and is located mid-way between the towns of Vitre and Laval, a few minutes drive away from a pretty Bretagne village. The lake is situated in private fenced grounds on the edge of the forest, and down a little-used country side-road.

The one and half hours drive away from St Malo - this is all by motorway and there are no tolls. The lakes are two and a half hours from Caen and three hours from Le Havre, and three hours from Cherbourg - again no tolls.

Poplars Lake is the first beautiful lake on the Etangs De Breton complex, which is situated just over an hour away from the busy ferry port of St Malo.

This lovely 2.5 acre lake is roughly rectangular in shape and is bordered all around its perimeter by mature trees and shrubs. Completely fenced and secure, Poplars Lake and Pond is a tranquil and very private rural retreat, with abundant wildlife. It is not overlooked.

Only three large comfortable swims about forty yards apart exist on the heavily-wooded fishing bank, although there is also lots of scope for stalking.

The use of a bait boat is strongly recommended to present baits under marginal trees and a one man rowing boat is provided.
