Welcome to Petit Pretre ('Little Priest') lakes
Set in the beautiful Champagne-Ardennes region of France, Petit Pretre Carp Fishing Lakes are a simple 3.5 hour drive from Calais near Montier-En-Der.
The lakes are set in an idyllic, unspoilt 52 acre woodland, offering a quiet and secluded location.
With carp to over 60lb and no nuisance fish, they are the perfect venue for a relaxing and rewarding carp fishing holiday.
A lake full of character and BIG carp!
Petit Pretre was originally excavated several hundred years ago by Monks, setting up their own fishery for food, it was first recorded and mapped during the region of Louis XV (1715 – 1774).
Hence the name ‘Little Priest’ and to follow the theme and history, the individual lakes are named accordingly with Cloisters, Chapel & Temple Lake.
