What to expect
You'll meet your guide at dawn and settle into a proper French breakfast by the water's edge—cured meats, spreads, fresh bread and a glass of wine to ease in. Then comes the practical bit: if you're new to fishing, you'll learn how to assemble your rod, grip the reel, judge your cast and read the water. You'll spend the bulk of the morning actually fishing, standing or wading depending on your spot, with quiet stretches broken only by bird calls and the occasional splash. Catches aren't guaranteed, but the stillness is.
Good to know
Bring sun protection and wear layers—Provençal mornings cool down by the water. Not suitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant or have significant heart concerns. Comfortable waterproof shoes or waders help; your guide will advise.
