Forum - click here The Lake Lac de Lion is 5 acres in size, in a completely secluded setting in the Dordogne, surrounded by woodland and flat grassy banks, with swims around the whole lake allowing you to fish wherever you want. Free use of a rowing boat is provided for baiting up as required, with fish feeding well on beds of bait due to our feeding program. The lake ranges in depth from 5 metres to 1 metre, with the bottom made up of fine silt, sand and gravel. NO WEEDBEDS, CRAYFISH or POISSON CHAT, making it a very easy water to fish. The weather in this area of France is known for its hot summers and mild spring and autumn, leading to a longer fishing season and better growth rate for the fish. There is a garage, bar, tabac and bakery 3 minutes from the lake, with the main town a further 5 minutes with a supermarket, pharmacy and usual shops.

All your cooking utensils are provided, as well as crockery, cutlery etc. The bathroom has a flush toilet, basin and enclosed shower with a good flow of constant hot water. The seating area has a corner bench with table which seats 6, a futon which seats 4 and can be turned into a double bed, if you wanted to stay in the chalet. A wood burner is provided with wood for the cooler evenings. Outside there is an awning above the French doors leading out to the lake, a wood table and chairs seating 6 with parasol and a fixed BBQ, allowing you to BBQ while socializing at the table and fishing. Next to the chalet is a small grassed area with a football net for recreational purposes.
