Goncourt update : from Pascale

Winter time is here again, time to relax but time to think of what improvements can be made to the complex also. As you know I am always trying to find a way to improve the Domaine de Goncourt complex.
This year it will be the turn of Great Lake and the Goncourt 3 Lakes. I know I had promised you facilities on Goncourt 3 Lakes but with the bad weather we had last year and with people having trouble driving around the lakes, I thought it was more appropriate to concentrate on the roads around the lakes. This way all my customers can fish comfortably without having to worry about the weather and they can just fish. It is going to cost more than putting in toilet and shower facilities but I believe this will be money well spent for the future of Goncourt 3 Lakes. The most important thing for me this year is your safety driving to and from the lakes.
About Great Lake now. The toilets and shower facilities are really old, so it is time to have some new ones !! I have also thought that if I replace the current facilities with larger and more modern ones the Goncourt 3 Lakes customers will be able to use these also. I will also have fridge and freezers available within the new block. This will help customers who do not want to drive to the Goncourt Lodge everyday. So, hopefully this benefits everyone on both Domaine de Goncourt and Goncourt 3 Lakes.
Robin Lake will also have improvements made to the Mobile Home with the new work surfaces, sink and cooker. These will be installed by the start of the season along with a new table outside with seating for 6 people. The fish in Robin lake fish continue to grow and I am hoping for some new 60's to come from this lake this year.
I would like to remind everyone again of the tax we have pay for refuse collection. As you know this will be collected on arrival at the lakes and is not included in the price of your trip. This is a tax imposed by the local authority and I have no control over this, sorry.
I am continually striving to produce some of the best fishing and facilities available for all my customers whether they are old or new customers. I appreciate your loyalty and friendship over my 10 years at Domaine de Goncourt.
