Fishing ponds in Seine-et-Marne
Fishing enthusiasts are spoilt for choice in Seine-et-Marne, particularly with ponds such as those of Episy-la-Genevraye near Moret-sur-Loing (16 km from our campsite in Seine-et-Marne), or the pond of Balloy. They can also go to the pond of Longueville, located about ten kilometers from Provins.
The ponds of the region are divided into 2 categories according to the dominant fish species. The first category is full of salmonids, with species such as trout and salmon and the second is populated by cyprinids, white fish such as carp, bream or gudgeon.
