I am off there in a week's time. About 30 minutes from Le Mans.
Has anyone been there and got any tips? I am in The Orchards lake

I have been using them for the last three years and never had any issues. I am only changing from them now because I want a receiver rather than waking up the whole lake at night!

Thanks for all the responses - sounds like a trip to France is the front runner!
Bounty looks good - just need to check the Eurotunnel

Afternoon all
I have got a week's holiday to take before the end of the year - work commitments mean this is likely to be in mid to late November and I am considering a week in France.
It will obviously be cold and out of the usual season - so I would be interested to know if it would be sensible to invest in a week at that time of year or do something else and just go next summer instead. I was thinking about a small-ish venue - probably a couple of acres - in the Normandy area.
I know there are no guarantees, but would rather not sit in the freezing cold for a week and blank - but not sure if I am being too pessimistic. If anyone has been at that time of year, it would be good to hear of your experiences.
I would also point out that I am a fairly novice carp angler - I have been fishing for years but only concentrated on carp for the last three or so years and will be aiming for more of a runs water than a difficult big fish venue.

I went there for a week session last year.
Beech Pool was nice - got a few carp out, mainly mid-doubles plus a couple of decent sized tench
The main lake - all I got were catfish. I could see the carp showing but could not get them to take a bait before the cats got to it. Got a bit frustrating after a few days - tried different flavour boilies, wafters, pellets and even sweetcorn but still couldn't get anything other than catfish
The other guys on the lake were all targeting the cats rather than carp which should probably have given me a clue as to what was the primary species in the lake!

Morning everyone - another new forum member introducing himself...
I first started fishing as a youngster about 40 years ago, then took a lengthy break as career/family/kids took over but started up again about three years ago.
Decided to concentrate on carp fishing with the occasional coarse fishing day every now and again
Still feel very much a novice but learning all the time and look forward to contributing to the forums where I can
