La Livardiere
This 44 acre gravel pit is situated on the grounds of the chateau de Saint Fraimbault near Le Mans (2.5 hours from Cherbourg, 5hr from Calais). This estate is already famous worldwide for its exclusive shoot with exceptional management. It took us plenty of convincing to get the owner of the property to allow anglers on site. After 2 years of negociations, the lake is now open for guests outside of the shooting season.
The mature and tranquil lake is superbly shaped with plenty of features, islands and bays. The depths vary from 1m to just over 3m (10ft), given the shape of the lake, all features are within casting distance.
The stock of carp has been established for quite a few years now, to say that our field testers were pleased is an understatement! From what we have assessed there are plenty of fish varying from upper doubles to mid forties, many fish display deep bodies and awesome scale patterns.
The carp are still very naive so the techniques to be used remain quite simple. La Livardiere is not just another French venue, it is a special place where you can really enjoy the fishing and relax.
The facilities are those expected for such a property, clean and functional. They are based in a renovated 18th century farmhouse just 50 yards from the lake. The property is fully fenced and secured, even the foxes cannot get in. The adjacent town of Le Mans has plenty of hypermarkets, shops, restaurants and entertainment.
