Overview

This pike fishing trip to the heart of Provence is not only a great way to improve your freshwater fishing skills but also to see one of France's most iconic landscapes. Available between May 15th and November 30th, spend anytime from a day or weekend, to a week or even two, enjoying the summer in the French countryside.

It is a wonderful world and setting to discover and enjoy. In Provence, the Climate is warm and dry. The earth is red and stony. The streams are usually limestone rivers flowing across thyme and rosemary scented hills. Plane trees give shadow to village places, olive trees and cypresses make décor complete. The wine and the gastronomy were already famous in the time of the ancient Greeks and Romans and this culinary excellence continues to this day.

Itinerary

DAY 1

Fishing excursion

After a hearty, rustic breakfast, we prepare for our excursion. We will travel to the lake and set up base.
Spend the day looking for pike, perch and other freshwater white fish. The fishing permits work on a catch and release basis and therefore we do not keep the fish we find.
Return to the accommodation for an aperitif in the evening.
There is no set time frame, for your adventure with us, choose your length of stay from a day to a week or more!
Meals included: breakfast

About the location

Provence is a geographical region and historical province of southeastern France, which extends from the left bank of the lower Rhône to the west and to the Italian border to the east. It's southern edge is bound by the Mediterranean Sea.
The Romans made the region the first Roman province beyond the Alps and called it Provincia Romana, which evolved into the present name.

The Rhône river, on the western border of Provence, is one of the major rivers of France, and has been a highway of commerce and communications between inland France and the Mediterranean for centuries.

The garrigue is the typical landscape of Provence; it is a type of low, soft-leaved scrubland or chaparral found on limestone soils around the Mediterranean Basin, generally near the seacoast, where the climate is moderate, but where there are annual summer drought conditions.
Juniper and stunted holm oaks are the typical trees; aromatic lime-tolerant shrubs such as lavender, sage, rosemary, wild thyme and Artemisia are common garrigue plants. The open landscape of the garrigue is punctuated by dense thickets of Kermes oak.
