The Camargue, a wild land of rich flora and fauna
The Camargue is a region on the Mediterranean coast, classified as a “Grand site de France”. This 150,000-hectare wetland forms a triangle between Arles, Le Grau-du-Roi and Fos-sur-Mer, across the Bouches-du-Rhône and Gard departments.

There are 2 zones:
To the north, the Camargue is mainly dominated by freshwater, with an irrigation system that enables crops to be grown, particularly rice (the famous Camargue rice).
To the south, the Camargue, shaped by the incursions of the sea and famous for its salt production (4 million tonnes per year), exported worldwide.
But the Camargue is also known for its exceptional wildlife, with many species living in the wild. On your walks, you’ll come across pink flamingos, as well as admire the running of the robust Camargue horses, which live in harmony with the bulls. If you like birdwatching, you’re in for a treat, as half of Europe’s 660 species can be seen here.
