Golden Valley Lake

A Quiet & Rich Carp Fishing Venue in France - Brittany

VAULAURENT LAKE



View from the bank. Brittany carp venueGolden Valley Lake is a carp fishing venue with some 30 acres set in 50 acres of our own land, largely forested, and in a peaceful rural valley approximately 1 mile from the small village of Saint Martin sur Oust in the heart of the Morbihan, Brittany (France).  It
is a mature, naturally balanced, silt bottomed lake and features tree lined margins and lily pads. The depth varies from 5 feet to 13 feet at its deepest point close to the dam wall to the south of the lake

For many years, a favourite fishing location for pike, perch and many other species of fish, the lake has more recently, and by its two previous owners, been stocked and used as a carp fishery.

Since the end of the 2006 season we  remained closed until June 2009 whilst we carried out phase two of our development.  


The two phases have included the following:

  1. Landscaping of the grounds.
  2. Construction of an amenity block.
  3. The construction of timber Finlandia style cabins adjacent to their respective swims., and a fully self contained 2 birth Finlandia style chalet.
  4. The construction of a small clubhouse.
  5. Laying out of 8 multiple swims - 4 singles and 4 doubles.
  6. Creation of hard driveways and parking places with improved vehicle access.
