Lake Mervent
Deep in the forest, experienced fishermen and hobby anglers can match wits with pike and perch from the shores of the lake, by boat or float-tube.
Signposted night fishing trails offer some unforgettable experiences.
Nearby, three other lakes (Vouvant, Lake Pierre-Brune and Lake Albert) make it a visit to remember for its diversity.
Fishing dock accessible at Mervent, near the Valley Bridge. Rent your boat for half a day or a full day at the Mervent Outdoor Leisure Centre.
