Public fishing in France is governed by a permit system administered through local federations. Anglers must purchase a ''carte de pêche'', which is issued by the relevant departmental federation ([[AAPPMA]]) and is typically valid for a single department. An interfederal permit (''carte interfédérale'') is available for those wishing to fish across multiple regions. |
