THE ORIGINS OF LA CHAUSSEE

In 1249, the count “Thiébaut II de Bar”, had based, on the verge of his states, a new city “Francheville” near “Rouvroy”. Lands showed themselves doubtless thankless and often flooded because in 1273, it made build a pond on this territory.

He had bought the ground from the abbey of “Gorze”. The construction gave place to a complaint of the monks of “Saint-Benoit” who claimed themselves hurt, and who gave up nevertheless any pursuits in 1273. Then in 1277, doubtless understanding, the necessity of having in this place a population capable of protecting and of assuring the preservation and the exploitation of its pond, one of the biggest of the country (900 acres), it based the city of “Lachaussee” so named because built on the road of the pond.

In the XIIIth century, the monks of the abbey Cistercian, situated to “Saint-Benoît-en-Woëvre” transformed the swamps of Lachaussee into pond to have a reserve of fishes. Today, it became a fish exploitation of 900 acres.

THE OPENING OF OUR ETABLISSSEMENT

In 1978, “Baron de WANGEN”, the rich property owner and the industrialist of the region, chooses to donate in the APF of its fish property of 372 hectares, situated to “LACHAUSSEE” in Meuse. The Baron had been seduced by the original project of the APF: the valuation of the site, associated with the socio integration professional of disabled grown-up excluded persons of the world of the work. This project answered a need.

 

THE POND OF LACHAUSSEE
THE APF is this day, owner Etang de Lachaussée showing 900 acres. This pond is maintained by our workshops “ green spaces “. The produced fish is not the object of no artificial food any granules, it takes advantage essentially of the capacity trophique by the environment, as well as by the punctual contribution of cereal, realized by the workshop “breedings”. A way culturale respectful of the consumer and the environment.

This pond is emptied and fished the last 15 days of October and first 15 days of November what gives172-pic2-lac place to our famous 'Feast of the Fish ': it is the productive fishing. Between 30 and 50 tons of fishes of any sorts are taken back every year. The variation is a function of climatic or natural chances (pluviometry, temperature, predation) which have a direct influence on the available food reserves in the stretch of water. As such, to guarantee a quality of products to our consumers and to protect the environment, the philosophy of the establishment is to have no appeal to extensive productive techniques such as the manuring of fertilizer (neither phosphate, nor nitrate) which could widely improve the returns.
