im off to chateau des ormes holiday park in Normandy for a family holiday. On the website it states that there iis fishing but other than that i am finding it very hard to find any other information. If anyone has fished there recently or has any other information about the place it would be great. cheers.

I went there on holiday a couple of years ago. There are a few lakes, a couple of which are fishing lakes: 1 about 1/2 an acre or so with a few carp in it, the other a more mature lake of maybe 3 acres(?). Walked round the bigger one a couple of times but didn't see any signs in it (doesn't mean they're not there though!).

I only took some light coarse tackle, and I fished the smaller lake a couple of times. Had a couple of roach out and saw a few carp basking among the weed (singles & doubles).

Not what I'd call a serious fishery, but if you're looking for a quick dabble during a family holiday it's fine

Didn't look into it at the time, as it wasn't an option for me!

There seems to be quite a few just to the east of Rennes. Take a look here http://www.carp-france.com/AllVenues.aspx
