Fishing on Lake Castillon or Chaudanne
LThe waters of the lake also attract fishermen, who can find trout, pike and perch there. Fishing from the banks (for PRMs, there is a pontoon on Lake Castillon) or by boat is a popular activity, particularly early in the morning or at the end of the day, when the lake is calmest.
