On the outskirts of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, Pont de Gau Bird Park takes you into the heart of the Camargue marshes. Its paths wind between ponds and reed beds, a few metres from the flamingos, present all year round, and dozens of other bird species.
From Le Moulin Bérénice: about 1 hour by car.
Don’t miss
- Flamingos you can watch up close, especially during their spring courtship displays.
- Herons, egrets, storks and marsh ducks.
- Easy waymarked paths, suitable for families.
- Bird hides, to photograph the birds without disturbing them.
Good to know
Spring and autumn are the best seasons for birdwatching. Bring binoculars, a hat and mosquito repellent in summer. Ideally combined with a visit to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer.
