About this tour

Cast a line into one of Provence's pristine waterways on this three-hour fishing outing. Whether you're chasing pike, perch or carp, you'll start with a spread of local provisions—bread, charcuterie, tapenade and wine—before heading out. First-timers get walked through rod assembly, casting technique and lure selection; seasoned anglers simply enjoy the quiet countryside and the pull of the water.

Highlights

  • Assemble and cast from scratch with instructor guidance
  • Target pike, perch and carp in scenic Provençal waters
  • Local breakfast of bread, cured meat, tapenade and wine
  • Three-hour session suits various skill levels
  • Peaceful rural setting away from tourist crowds
  • All fishing tackle supplied and ready

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.
