Lake Vassiviere is one of the largest areas of inland water in France. With a surface area of over 4 square miles, an island in the middle and undulating shore-line, the lake could almost be a small land-locked sea.
It is surrounded by an unspoilt enviroment of heather-clad hills that change colour with every season, ideal for walkers and riders wishing to explore over 46 sign-posted walks (300km of foot-paths, bridleways and mountain-bike trails.
Six beaches provide facilities for children and bathers, whilst water-sport enthusiasts can indulge in sailing, windsurfing, motorboat racing and water-skiing. The waters are stocked with pike, zander, roach, carp and tench which can be fished all year round with the surrounding streams rich in trout.
To fish on public waters you will need to obtain a fishing permit (carte de peche), these are on sale at specialist angling shops, campsites, and tobacconists and some bars and cafes - you DO NOT need a permit to fish at LA COUARDE.
There is a special holiday permit, which allows you to fish in all categories of lakes and rivers for a 15-day period. The 'timbre halieutique' is a stamp authorising you to fish in all three departments of the Limousin.
Before you cast your line at your chosen spot, check which category (1st or 2nd) the river or lake is, which fish you are allowed to catch at that time of year and, obviously, that it isn't reserved for private use.
Never fish on Public Waters if you do not have a permit - in France you will be confronted by the Police!!
