French Lakes with accomodation

[Blunderer]

Any help greatly appreciated.

I have pursuaded wy wife to spend 2 weeks in France next year. We have agreed to go to a lake with a cottage and to take another couple along.

Has anybody any ideas of a place which ticks as many of the following boxes as possible:

Half decent accomodation
Lake which can be booked completely
Pretty location
Shops nearby
Carp to be caught

Thanks a lot in advance to anyone who has any ideas.

Hi blunderer,

example below:

I have used bargaingites site before and found it very good. Loads of gites all over France at good prices. Pick the area you like then do a ctrl + F search for the word "lake" (makes selecting a bit quicker).

Hope you can find a good one.

Good luck.

Go onto The Mail website and see if you can find their article from the Travel Section. Last week, I think, was a piece about something similar. This concentrated on the Champagne region.

La Queroy.

not the cheapest but probably the best.

Accommodation stunning.

Lake private

Loads of 20's, 30's and 40's

village with restaurant and bars nearby

3 double rooms

rods and tackle can be left by the lake when not fishing as the place is totally private.

The best (carp) holiday venue I've been to bar none.

That looks pretty special - I have just emailed for info.
Any idea on cost?

Blunderer - If you do book it, or your considering booking it, drop me a private mail and I'll give you as much info if you want.

Bully - It was a family holiday and I'd rather fish for carp than not at all !

But seriously, I've said before, I don't have a problem with carp. It's the indiscriminate clamour to stock them everywhere that I'm totally against.

It's already well booked up for the summer. There are some single weeks but we ideally want two - I am waiting on theprice.
Thanks for the tip - will pm when booked.

If you do go try and tie in with the folk festival in the nearby village.

What an excellent week of boozing and eating that is !
