Lac Baleine

Lac Baleine is an astonishingly beautiful 23 acre lake set on 40 acres of land in the idyllic Champagne region, near Vitry-le-François, just over 3 hours from Calais. Spectacular views and a tranquil atmosphere make this a very special lake indeed.

A mature tree-lined lake, excavated over 25 years ago, Lac Baleine consists of gravel and clay. The lake offers a multitude of interesting features: from two islands with overhanging trees and deep margins to depths ranging between 8 to 12 feet depending on the time of year.

Spacious, well-maintained and perfectly positioned, Lac Baleine consists of 23 swims, a mixture of singles and doubles, with a maximum of 12 anglers. This ensures anglers have the freedom to move around while maintaining the secluded atmosphere that makes this such an impressive lake. All swims are accessible by vehicle. Lac Baleine can be weedy from time to time.
