Le Lac de Beauté sits in the picturesque countryside of western France, about 3 hours from the ferry port of Caen. It’s surrounded by Canadian pines and is rich in wildlife - squirrels, rabbits, multi-coloured kingfishers and owls are frequent visitors. It’s situated about 10 minutes south of Le Mans and there’s a range of local shops about 2 minutes drive away including chemist, butchers, bakers, tobacconist and a supermarket.
Here’s some examples of feedback from 2009;
" Lac de Beaute is an excellent run fishery and Alex is a very good man who knows what he's talking about. We all really enjoyed ourselves and all caught PB’s. We will all return for definite."
Rob Deans, July 2009
" Fantastic venue, great location. After going to France for 4 years this has been the best year so far! Alex and Carolynn were fantastic hosts and couldn't do enough for you. Alex is a top bloke and will put you on the fish straight away. Carolyn's breakfast's are a must to set you up for the day! "
Mr Thresh, June 2009

The lake is approximately 3 acres in size, sitting in 5 acres of land, and is around 30 years old. It’s fed from a natural spring and has a sand and gravel bed. It was purchased from a French gentleman who used it as a summer get-away and fished it only very occasionally. This is the first time it has been run as a commercial fishery.
There are five well spaced swims, one of which is a double, so the lake can accommodate up to six anglers. Fishing is from one bank which gives easy access to the far margin features. The banks are flat and grassy and have ample room for bivvies.

There is a heated shower and toilet block plus a cooker and fridge/freezer for your use. This venue is well suited for disabled anglers as there is good access to the shower block via a concrete wheel chair ramp and extra wide doors. The owner, Alex, is always on hand to assist the disabled angler with any aspect of his/her fishing and welcomes disabled fisherman.
