Golden Carp Lake
Golden Carp Lake is a 12 acre lake located in the Dordogne region of south-west France. Surrounded by 20 acres of unspoilt woodland, it has a true wow factor. This is a big carp destination for experienced anglers but equally ideal for bringing family and friends along by opting for the cabin accommodation (sleeping four and with its own pool).
For those who prefer a slower pace, Golden Carp Lake is the perfect spot to sunbathe, swim, and unwind. You can also enjoy a relaxed meal and a glass of wine at nearby restaurants, bars, and cafés. The lake’s proximity to Brantôme, the “Venice of the Dordogne,” and the cities of Perigueux and Angouleme ensures plenty of entertainment for all.
Whether in a group, as a pair, or with family, this is the perfect getaway while chasing the catch of a lifetime, this is the place you’ve been looking for…
