The pond Communaux in Anse (1.5ha): Well-maintained, regularly stocked with pike, trout and roaches. It is frequented by both experienced fishermen and families wishing to spend a pleasant day at the water’s edge and fishing near the campsite.

The pond Chamalan in Treviso (3.5ha): Chamalan is a gravel pit near the Saône, tit is quite deep with a steep slope, except on the western tip. You will find carp, catfish, pike, catfish, roaches and bream.
