Fishing permit (carte de pêche)
To ensure you can start on the right foot, remember your fishing permit!
You can buy your permit online or from an agent.
If asked to present your fishing permit, you can show it on your phone, however, we’d advise you to keep a paper copy with your fishing equipment in case of any problems with your phone.
 
There are, in fact, two types of carte de pêche fishing permits:
– annual permits so you can go fishing whenever you like,
– tourist permits, which are ideal for holidaymakers staying in our area and valid for one day or one week, whichever suits your needs.
