Fishing

If you’re in to fly fishing, the Indre-et-Loire (our department) has a few spots, our nearest being Bréhémont. Read all about it here.

However, in this region of France, it’s really more about coarse fishing, which can be done on the banks of La Vienne, in Chinon. Technically, you do need to be in possession of a fishing licence (carte de pêche); ask at La Carassin Doré - a tackle shop on the left bank and a good source of local intel - or you can buy one online.
