The pleasure of fishing

Want to reconnect with nature? Treat yourself to some time in the open air, beside a river or lake, listening to the silence, the sound of the wind, observing the magnificent landscapes of the Hautes Vallées and especially the Izoard. Alone to relax and enjoy a soothing moment, or with your family, grandchildren or children, to share a moment and bond in the open air!

Are you looking forward to it? The little ones have arrived and they're ready! The fishing rods, boots and hats are out, all that's missing is a picnic, and you're off for a family fishing trip in Izoard!

The Durance

A mythical river, it is fed by various tributaries and already becomes powerful when it passes through the gorges between the Vauban fortresses of Briançon.

The river jumps from boulder to boulder, forming a succession of waterfalls and cascades. Trout thrive in these cool, oxygenated waters. You can catch some fine-sized specimens here. Source : AAPPMA "Les pêcheurs Briançonnais
