The Regional Park of Camargue

Nestled between the Rhone River and the Mediterranean Sea, the Camargue Regional Natural Park in southern France is a natural wonder filled with unique wildlife, historical monuments, and diverse ecosystems. Known for its impressive landscapes, the park offers an unforgettable experience for nature lovers and adventurers. Here is everything you need to know to plan an ideal visit to this exceptional reserve.

Camargue Highlights

Bird Watching and Wildlife
More than 300 bird species can be observed, including pink flamingos (the only place in France where flamingos nest), herons, and ibis. The Pont des Gault Ornithological Park is perfect for photographers and wildlife enthusiasts, who can get up close to these birds from observation towers and themed trails.

Camargue Horses and Bulls
Known for its iconic white horses and black bulls, the park offers a glimpse into the traditional way of raising livestock in the Camargue. The manades (herds) roam freely, and in some areas, visitors can even ride these famous horses and watch unique local bullfights where the bullfighter pulls a tuft from the bull’s horns.

Salt Marshes and Sansouïres
The Camargue is famous for its salt marshes and sansouïres (salt plains), which create a landscape unique to the region. Visitors can explore these areas on foot or by bicycle along designated trails, experiencing the natural beauty and tranquility of the region.

Historic Towns and Cultural Spots

• Arles: This ancient Roman town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is home to Roman ruins such as the Arles Amphitheater and the Church of St. Trophime. It is an ideal starting point for sightseeing in the Camargue.
• Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer: Known for its annual gypsy pilgrimage to St. Sarah, this coastal town also offers sandy beaches and water sports. Don’t miss the local market, which sells traditional wares.
• Aigues-Mortes: Famous for its medieval fortress, this charming town provides a taste of the region’s history and cuisine.

Plan Your Visit

Best Season
Spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) are ideal, with mild weather, fewer mosquitoes, and a good chance of seeing flamingos and other migratory birds. Summer is popular but hot, with more mosquitoes.

Transportation
The park is accessible by car, but there are also routes for bicycling and horseback riding. Guided tours are available to help visitors better understand the park’s ecology.

Advice for Visitors

• Bring insect repellent, especially in summer, as mosquitoes are common.
• Carry binoculars for bird watching and a camera to capture the breathtaking scenery.
• Walk on marked trails to respect protected areas and preserve the delicate ecosystem.
