You will not be disappointed. Ireland has the proud reputation of being the best country in Europe for rod fishing and, what's more, it is inexpensive as a destination.

Though French to the core our roots are here now - it will soon be almost 20 years since we created this Centre from scratch. Due to its reliability, its friendliness, its competence, and especially its remarkable organisation, we rank among the top angling spots on the island.

Angling is a serious business and it is not enough just to announce record catches and put on a show of marvellous tables, the proof must be there. That is our claim.

Please remember that we provide accommodation, angling organisation and consultancy only, and that we are not a travel agency. Thus, our prices are net and there are no intermediaries.

Accommodation guaranteed to be of excellent comfort, in individual cottages, is located right on the edge of the most important fishing area of the island. You can reach us on foot, by boat or by car. Some great fishing trips can be experienced from the "fishing stands" set up in front of the Centre.

My son Olivier and myself are anglers, and we put our experience entirely at your disposal.

Detailed maps of fishing spots, up to the minute advice, analysis of situations, and the availability of echo sounders allow you to explore all the nooks and crannies of this vast demesne with the best possible chance of success.

Because of the numerous waters here, there is no risk of over-fishing and you will often find yourself quite alone. For a fleeting moment, you will have the impression of owning infinity.

With a fleet of motor boats in excellent condition, you can very quickly reach fabulous places where the angling is beyond compare.

A myriad of small details will satisfy the most exacting of people. When you get here, on site, you will have buckets, basses, pike landing nets, hooks, maggots, bait, ground bait and decoys of all sorts etc.

On the food side, you can rest assured. Your hopes will not be dashed. Our plentiful, varied, and refined cuisine has received recommendations from the experts in these matters. Our bar also has a full licence, where, either indoors or on the terrace, you can, at your leisure, sip the excellent wines and spirits from our cellar.

Everything has been done so that your stay with us will be a memorable one.

Non anglers will find the IFC a haven of rest, where they can pursue many activities, such as tennis on site, walking or cycling trips in the surrounding area, and horse riding and golf close by, etc.

Please feel free to contact us, we will be delighted to give you any further information.

Looking forward to the pleasure of meeting you, sincerely yours,

Nora, Olivier and Michel Neuville
