Discover the Stress-Free Way to Carp Fish in France
Ask any angler who’s driven to France for a carp trip what the hardest part was and very few will say “the fishing.” It’s the 4am alarms, the long motorway run to the ferry, the white-knuckle drive down unfamiliar French roads with a car full of kit — all before you’ve even got a bait in the water.
At Les Quis we solved that years ago. We’re still the only carp fishing holiday package venue in France offering a genuine luxury coach and ferry package from the UK — door to complex — and we’ve been perfecting it since 1992.
Below we explain exactly what’s included, why anglers keep choosing the coach, and why it might be the smartest move before your next French carp trip.
What Is the Les Quis Coach Package?
Our coach package is a fully managed travel service from a single, central UK pick-up point straight to our complex in Bray-sur-Seine, France. We sort the coach, the ferry crossing, the luggage and the route. You enjoy the trip.
Here’s what’s included as standard:
- 52-seat luxury coach: Air‑conditioned, roomy seats and full coach comfort for the journey south. Not a minibus, not a shared shuttle — a proper coach designed for long-distance travel.
- Managed ferry crossing: We handle the bookings and timings so you don’t have to. No queuing for tickets, no separate arrangements to make.
- UK pick-up point: One convenient departure location, clearly signposted and easy to reach (full details on our Trip Information page).
- Luggage support: Your rods, bivvy, tackle bags and kit travel with you. Our luggage allowances reflect what carp anglers actually bring.
- On-site bailiff team: Two professional bailiffs meet you at Les Quis and remain available throughout your stay — not just at arrival.
Why Doesn’t Anyone Else Offer This?
It’s a fair question. The simple answer is logistics. Running a coach package takes long-standing relationships with coach operators and ferry companies, plus operational know‑how that only comes from doing it season after season. Les Quis has been doing exactly that since 1992.
Most carp venues in France are owner-run lakes with one or two staff. They excel at fish care and hosting anglers but they aren’t in the transport business. We are — it’s part of the Les Quis model, and it’s a key reason around 80% of our guests return year after year.
“I’ve been fishing France for 15 years and the coach package at Les Quis is the only way I’ll travel now. You arrive relaxed, you leave relaxed. It changes the whole trip.” — Les Quis guest
Who Is the Coach Package For?
In our experience, the coach package suits:
- Groups of mates who want to start together — the banter, the planning and the build-up happen on the coach, not in separate cars arriving at different times.
- Anglers who don’t drive long distances comfortably — whether due to age, health, licence restrictions or preference. Wanting to fish France shouldn’t depend on your ability to drive there.
- Solo anglers who prefer not to face a Channel crossing and a long drive on their own.
- First-timers to France who value the reassurance of being guided through the journey by people who’ve made it hundreds of times.
What About the Drive and Survive Option?
We also offer a Drive and Survive package for those who prefer to use their own vehicle — whether for extra flexibility, carrying more kit, or travelling with family. Full details are on our Drive and Survive page.
For many anglers, once they try the coach they don’t go back. The sums add up: shared transport costs, no wear and tear on your car, no fuel or toll bills, no ferry nerves. And you arrive at Les Quis ready to fish, not frazzled.
How Do I Book?
All bookings begin with an enquiry. Call our team on +44 (0)7711 594854 or use the booking form on our website. We’ll discuss dates, lake availability and whether the coach or drive package is the best fit for your group.
Coach spaces fill faster than any other option — especially for spring and autumn sessions when the carp are most active. If you’re thinking about next season, now is the time to ask.
Les Quis is based in Bray-sur-Seine, France — roughly 4 hours from Calais. Established in 1992. Over 34 years of guided carp fishing holidays.
