In France, every year, the release of the new fishing licences brings anglers back into shops. Here are the essentials for the 2027 season, so you can advise your customers.
When and where?
The 2027 licences are expected in mid-December 2026 on the official website cartedepeche.fr and from local agents (fishing shops, tobacconists, tourist offices…). For reference, the 2026 licences went on sale on 17 December 2025. Annual licences are valid from 1 January to 31 December, whatever the date of purchase.
The main licences
- Adult and inter-federation licences (wider reciprocity; €114 in 2026): up to 4 lines, for the year.
- Women’s discovery, under-18 and under-12 discovery licences, at low prices.
- Weekly and daily licences, handy for holidaymakers.
Prices for the other licences are set by each département federation and published when sales open.
And abroad? Each country has its own system: in Slovenia, for example, permits are bought online, river by river. Read our article Fishing trip to Slovenia.
Our tip for your shop
A licence as a Christmas gift, then the trout season opening in March: the coming weeks are ideal for showcasing your freshwater section. Remember to check your stock of PRORIVER groundbaits and attractants before the holidays.
