Fishing Holiday France

Come and say at Les Croisettes for your Fishing Holiday in France

Water is ubiquitous in the South Vendee. Submerging our land in a distinctive network, it invites our visitors to take pleasure from many recreational activities, including fishing. Indeed, there are numerous locations reserved for angling in freshwater lakes and barrages, rivers, canals, ponds and there are even four itineraries for fishing carp after dusk. Along the South Vendee coast you can also go fishing in the open sea or else do some surf-casting at the beach. We would love to welcome you to Les Croisettes as a base for your Fishing Holiday France.

BESIDE THE SEASIDE, L’AIGUILLON AND LA FAUTE

During your fishing holiday in France, become acquainted with the pleasure of fishing and enjoy some unique moments! Walk out to the beach at low tide with a basket in your hand and gather molluscs, crustaceans and small fish. For a couple of hours the outgoing tide will uncover areas concealing unusual riches. However, some rules should be observed as some fishing practices might be destructive to the environment and contribute to natural degradation.

  • Recreational anglers may fish by hand or with a line.
  • Reserved for family consumption. Fish, crustaceans and shellfish must have a minimum size, and the catch must not exceed the authorised amounts.
  • Minimum sizes of shellfish are: 4 cm for mussels, 3 cm for cockles, clams 4 cm, and 3.5 cm for scallops.
  • Maximum catch sizes are 5 kg for mussels and oysters, 3 kg for clams, cockles and scallops.
Some good spots! Plaice is best caught from the old bridge, in the water reservoirs kept for bathing and fishing, in canals, or directly at the beach.
