Angie Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 We go to our house in France each year in June and the Mairie allows fishing for free in the village lake during certain days of the month. There is a little chap who oversees the lake and we asked him last year whether we needed a licence. Whether this was lost in translation or not we don't know, but he said we didn't need anything. I'm not too sure about this and as my son wants to go fishing again this year I don't want him to get into trouble by not having the necessary licence/permit.

Lingone Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 You need a national photo identity card (Carte D'Identite Halieutique), plus a national fishing licence (unless you are a member of a private fishing club, when you need the above ID card and the membership of the private club). National fishing licence is 105e for the year, I think. Local gunshops and fishing clubs can issue the national ID card (photo needed), plus the appropriate private/national licence. Hope this is clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 Thank you Lingone for the information. Seems a lot of hassle and expense for a few hours holiday fishing - probably won't bother this time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le martin-pêcheur Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Hi,You can get a daily or weekly permit too, just for your region - much cheaper if you're not here for long.See http://www.cartedepeche.fr/12-liste-des-cartes.htmCheers,Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Do you need any kind of permit to fish in the sea?Not going to do it, just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le martin-pêcheur Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Hi,To the best of my knowledge, you don't need a permit to fish the seas, however, there are minimum sizes of fish that can be taken and there can be restrictions around ports/harbours etc.See http://www.jcpoiret.com/bapw/peche/mer/reglementation_mer.htmCheers,Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loiseau Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I should start by asking at the Mairie. In my village, the licence could be bought in one of the local bars. However, I have a feeling that children under a certain age do not need a permit. I researched this for a friend a few years back, and although the father needed to buy a licence, his son did not.What Département are you in, Angie? Googling its fishing rules will probably tell you what you need to know.AngelaEDITFor example, I googled "carte de peche Vendee" and came up with this list:http://www.federation-peche-vendee.fr/J-achete-ma-carte/Quelle-carte-de-peche-choisirWhere I see that there is a small charge for children after all.

Angie Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Perfect! Found the info by googling - in Aude its 18 euros for a "holiday" permit for an adult (i.e. over 12 years) so will invest in one of these this year. Thanks again everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kizpip Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Your 'translation' may not be totally off the mark Angie. There's a lake in our village and I'm told one can fish there without a licence because it's privately owned and fishing is allowed by the owner.
