A spring-fed fly reservoir at Abbéville-la-Rivière in the Essonne, roughly an hour from Paris, historically run as a private day-ticket fishery alongside the farm's trout production. It is the antidote to the city: clear water fed by its own sources, stocked with rainbow and brown trout. The operator's branding has shifted toward farm produce and open-days, and their site currently states there's no trout fishing on-site — but recent social media activity suggests anglers are still getting on the water at times, so this may be a seasonal or welfare-driven suspension rather than a permanent closure. Confirm current status and booking directly before planning a visit.
