Lake exclusive during July and August 2026 

It’s not just the fish that make our lake in France so special — the birdlife is incredible too! If you’re as passionate about birds as you are about fishing, don’t forget to pack your binoculars and enjoy a spot of birdwatching during your stay.

On a recent visit, Mark’s sister used the Merlin Bird ID app to record an impressive variety of species around the lake, including Carrion Crow, Garden Warbler, Eurasian Blackbird, Eurasian Blackcap, Common Chiffchaff, Eurasian Wren, Melodious Warbler, Ring-necked Pheasant, Greater Whitethroat, Eurasian Collared Dove, Black Redstart, Common Nightingale, Long-tailed Tit, European Goldfinch, Eurasian Blue Tit, Common Wood Pigeon, Common Chaffinch, and Common Cuckoo.

With such a rich diversity of wildlife, the lake offers a fantastic experience for anglers, birdwatchers, and nature lovers alike.

Starting a car park project in the middle of winter? Not exactly our best-timed idea—but sometimes you don’t get a choice!

After getting our car completely stuck during an especially wet spell, we realised something had to change… and just like that, the car park project was born.

We brought in an excavator to dig out the area, which quickly turned into less of a worksite and more of a mud pool (calling it a mud bath would be generous!). Once the ground was prepared, we laid down Type 1 hardcore and compacted it as best we could with a wacker plate.

At that point, the only sensible option was to let nature take its course and give the ground time to dry—assuming the rain would ever stop. Around five weeks later, we finally had our window. With the help of the excavator once again, we spread the decorative gravel into place.

And just like that, Lac Bundy’s car park was complete—much to our surprise and relief!

Within our first year, we placed great importance on offering as many facilities as possible and within budget for our anglers. A significant amount of effort went into building the shower block—it was a challenging and intricate task, but after eight days of hard work, it was completed and ready for the installation of the shower cubicle. The cubicle itself was fairly straightforward to assemble, with Mark carefully following the instructions. Once a sink was installed, the shower facility was fully finished and ready for our anglers to enjoy.

At Lac Bundy, our head of security—Burt—takes his job very seriously… mainly by befriending every dog he meets. Result: a highly secure, extremely pet-friendly venue.

We were pleasantly surprised to discover a compost toilet tucked away among the trees at Lac Bundy. Inspired by the idea of recycling, we decided to bring it back to life. After a thorough clean, a fresh coat of paint, and installing a new toilet seat, our toilet was reborn.
