The Orchard

This lake is around two acres, and has depths ranging from 3ft-7ft with gravel, stone, and some small silt beds. There are tall Canadian Pines to one side, and our small orchard on the other. There are gullies and holes to fish to, and the margins are also quite productive. The lake has 5 large swims, giving 2 anglers plenty of space and options.

There is a very good head of 30lb+ and a number of 40lb+, with the largest coming out so far at 43lb. 

Les Etangs De L’Ecurie is a perfect place for carp fishing in france if you want EXCLUSIVE USE of a lake. We are nestled in the Pays De La Loire in stunning countryside, less than 4 hours from Calais and just over an hour from Caen and St Malo.

We opened for Carp fishing in France in April 2014, with our first 50lb Carp coming out in our second season.

We think that one of the main reasons L’Ecurie is so appealing to our anglers, is the fact that you can come away with a friend and have the lake exclusively in beautiful surroundings, with peace and quiet, and the chance to land some beautiful L’Ecurie Carp.

We have 3 lakes – The Orchard (1-2 anglers), Tall Trees (1-3 anglers) and Oaks (1-2 anglers). We can accommodate exclusive use for between 1 and 7 anglers. Additionally, we have a Mobile Home available.

There are excellent shower and toilet facilities, and we also have a rustic dining room area for those that wish to take up breakfasts and/or evening meals, or if you just fancy a break from the lake to watch some TV. Additionally, there is a fisherman’s cabin containing a microwave, fridge/freezer, toaster, kettle, charging points and a bait freezer.
