About us
We are John & Pat (Mum & Dad) the proud owners and Nikki & Marc (Daughter & Son in Law) who run the fishery.
John has been a keen fisherman for close to 50 years (fishing was responsible for their first meeting over 40 years ago!), Pat is a more recent convert to doing it rather than putting up with others doing it, only becoming really keen after being seduced by the peace, tranquillity, enjoyment and excitement of catching and landing (she holds most of the lake records!!) our beautiful specimens here at La Petite Martiniere.
We moved here to France in 2007 after finding and falling in love with La Petite Martiniere, Nikki & Marc were so taken with the lifestyle that they decided to join us here and made the move in 2009. We all live on site and will always be available to offer help, advice and support if required.
We have worked to make the lake and facilities a venue that will appeal to and deliver a pleasant, relaxing, enjoyable and unforgettable holiday / break. Being a smaller lake than some others, we understand this will not appeal to the macho man Carper that needs to fire a large lead 100’s of metres (and still blank), indeed it is possible to place your bait in your chosen area without massive effort and you will also find it possible to enjoy a leisurely float session and still bank some fine specimens. We are ideally suited to a couple of anglers, husband / wife, or dad and lad etc. the peace and quiet with pleasant surroundings will ensure a completely relaxed break, with good fishing.
Unfortunately our facilities and surroundings are not suitable for young children or Dogs and therefore we cannot accept bookings including either
