Tips if you are going to do Fishing in France
Fishing was once an ancient activity that was a necessity in prehistoric times. But it is now a leisurely activity in its own right, with some people even making it a profession. There are now more than 1.5 million people in France who are fascinated by the mysteries of the water, making it their passion. If your curiosity has brought you this far, discover with us five reasons why fishing should undoubtedly be part of your next outdoor activities!
1. Discovering marine life
Yes, there is another way to explore wetland wildlife besides snorkelling. France is home to a rich and diverse aquatic fauna, found in both fresh and saltwater. For those curious about nature, fishing is the perfect way to satisfy your need for discovery. Indeed, if you wish to fulfil the 'pleasure of the catch' and not harm the fish, 'No-kill' offers are available, allowing you to put the fish back in the water alive. This way, you can observe sharks, marlin, tuna or swordfish up close and personal, while respecting nature. If, on the other hand, you prefer your trip to include a good feast in return for the fish you catch, there are several bottom fishing offers available. Options abound, but one thing is for sure, there will be plenty to discover on your trip!

2. Enjoy a moment of peace and quiet
Most fishing trips are organized early in the morning or around midday simply because of the water temperature. The warmer the water, the more hyperactive the fish and the more likely they are to bite the hook. During this time of day, it is calm, quiet and the setting is right for you to enjoy a moment of serenity and a complete change of scenery. Taking to the sea in a boat while your fishing rod dangles in the water, waiting for its prey is akin to 'Meditation'. So leave your worries behind and just relax and enjoy this fun activity and the scenery around you.

However, and given the 2 points discussed, this tranquillity and serenity inspired by the fishing session, conceal the intensity of the physical exercise performed. Result: 2 in 1! You will have put your body and heart to work without even realising it.

5. Improve and test your patience
If there is one activity that will test your patience and stamina, it is fishing! Don't assume that once you dip your rod in the water, it will come up with a fish. Unless you have luck on your side, this scene is only likely to happen in the movies. Fishing is first and foremost a means of self-discipline that seeks to test your perseverance. It also encourages you not to accept failure and keep at it until you catch your desired lobster. For this reason, we highly recommend that you accompany your children and encourage them to engage in fishing-type activities, stimulating their tenacity and endurance.
