Our self-contained first-floor apartment is part of our home, where we live on-site. The area is delightfully rural—so while you’ll enjoy the peace and privacy, you’ll need your own transport, as there are no bars, clubs, or bus services within walking distance. A short 10-minute drive brings you to the nearest town, where you’ll find local cafés, restaurants, and essential shops.
Your stay includes exclusive access to the first floor, accommodating up to six guests with two double beds (one en suite) and two singles. Surrounding the home, the gardens are yours to enjoy—perfect for unwinding with views over the lake.
When no anglers are present, feel free to take a stroll down to the water’s edge and soak in the peaceful setting. While swimming isn’t permitted, the lake provides a tranquil backdrop for your stay.
Unfortunately fishing is not included in your stay via this site.
If carp fishing is your passion, please take a look at our website to book your next trip. You will find us under lac de Lumiere fishing holidays and accommodation.

We’re absolutely delighted to have you stay with us and hope you feel right at home from the moment you arrive.
Surrounded by nature, wildlife, and the peaceful rhythm of the French countryside, this is your place to relax, recharge, and enjoy the slower pace of life.
