Welcome to Étang de Janine

Carp Fishing Holidays in the Heart of France

If you’re looking for a relaxing French carp fishing holiday, you’ve come to the right place.

Nestled in the beautiful French countryside, Étang de Janine is a mature 16-acre carp lake offering the perfect combination of quality fishing, peaceful surroundings and a friendly atmosphere.

Whether you’re travelling alone, with a fishing partner or with a group of friends, we offer flexible weekly bookings. Reserve an individual swim or book the entire lake exclusively for your own private week.

From the moment you arrive, our aim is simple – to make sure you enjoy every minute of your stay.


Why Choose Étang de Janine?

At Étang de Janine we believe a successful fishing holiday is about far more than simply catching carp.

It’s about relaxing beside the water, enjoying good company, waking up to mist rolling across the lake and hearing the alarm scream into life when everything comes together.

The lake accommodates a maximum of 10 anglers, giving everyone plenty of room to fish comfortably while still enjoying the atmosphere of a sociable French fishing holiday.

Whether you fish from the margins, over gravel bars, across weed beds or in open water, every swim offers its own opportunities throughout the season.


Could Your Next Personal Best Be Waiting?

Every angler arrives with different ambitions.

Some come to experience their first French carp fishing holiday.

Others are hoping to beat a personal best that has stood for years.

Beautiful surroundings. Comfortable facilities. Great company. Quality fishing. New personal bests. That’s what makes Étang de Janine a place anglers return to year after year.

Many anglers have already achieved new personal bests here.

Will you be next?


Everything You Need For A Comfortable Stay

We’ve worked hard to provide the facilities anglers really appreciate.

During your stay you’ll have access to:

  • Twelve spacious swims.
  • Parking behind every swim.
  • Three rowing boats.
  • Two electric outboard motors with batteries.
  • A comfortable anglers’ cabin with electricity for charging batteries and relaxing out of the weather.
  • Large Coleman cool boxes with replacement ice bottles.
  • Off-site freezer facilities when required.
  • A complimentary welcome bait pack for every angler.

If you’d rather spend more time fishing and less time cooking, freshly prepared food packages are also available to pre-book before your arrival.


More Than Just Fishing

For us, Étang de Janine isn’t simply another carp lake.

It’s somewhere to switch off from everyday life, spend quality time with friends and enjoy fishing in beautiful surroundings.

Whether you’re watching the sunrise over the lake, sharing stories over breakfast or celebrating a fish you’ll never forget, our goal is to make every visit one you’ll want to repeat.

We look forward to welcoming you and hope your next trip to Étang de Janine becomes another unforgettable chapter in your carp fishing journey.

  • Een mooi 7,5 ha water gesitueerd in het Loire dal. Er zwemt een mooi bestand tot over de 30 kilo. Echt een water dat je perfect met een groepje kunt afhuren! Het kan een lastig water zijn maar met de juiste aanpak kun je je borst nat maken.

  • It has always been a pleasure to fish at Janine, always throwing up surprise quality hard fighting carp. Janine is all about immaculate specimen carp, having fished here on quite a few occasions, I still return knowing that the chance of a new Pb could become a reality. A truly peaceful carp lake, that in this day and age are hard to come by. French carp fishing at its best

  • I would just like to write a few lines to let people know what type of chap David Scott is . Well the truth is I’ve never actually met the chap but if I did I’d gladly shake his hand and buy him a pint. Although I’ve never met him we have been in contact for a good number of years . I do a bit of charity work for 2 children’s charities and when I contacted David to ask if he could help with a raffle prize he more than delivered . I was hoping for a week for one or at best 2 people to auction or raffle off to raise some decent money for the charities. David gave me a full week exclusive use or his lake Etang De Janine which was more than I could have wished for . This has not happened only once as every time I’ve asked him for help he has come up trumps inc the time I asked for a one off trip to raise money for a very special boy named Alfie . Although I’ve never met him or been to any of his lakes I know he is a great guy as I have a few friends lucky enough to have met him and fished his waters and can’t praise him and his lakes highly enough Thank You David for all your Support & Kindness .
