You can buy water if you miss it, but it's just troubleshooting. Picnic tables in the shade (there are not many around).

Flamingos in Parc Naturel Régional de Camargue

Highlight • Natural

Beautiful cycle path, best ridden with a gravel bike or similar. It's not yet the heart of the Camargue, but a version with typically impressive flora and fauna

Etang de Vaccares - Camargue National Nature Reserve

Highlight • Lake

The dyke bike path is really nice. Now in the dry late summer it only has water in the ponds at the beginning, so no flamingos further back. But very nice and many big dragonflies.

Baisse de Mouillot Salt Flat

Highlight • Lake

The Baisse de Mouillot is one of these typical seawater lakes of the Camargue. It is bordered by a dike accessible by bike which allows you to observe it up close.

The Camargue is home to the fleur de sel, the fine, mineral-rich and crispy salt crystals that every gourmet is familiar with. Here the salt is not produced industrially, but with the help of the sea and the sun, just like 2,000 years ago. An impressive craft!

Bataiyolles Pond

Highlight • Lake

Bound to the north by the narrow gravel path of the Digue à la mer, the Étang de Bataiyolles is a great place to get away from roads and people, and to come close to the rosy flamingos typically fishing in this area.

Due to the temperatures of 35-38 degrees, we skipped the detour to the north 🥵. We saw this route on the way back from the car and realized that the tour towards the lighthouse was the better choice.

Many cycle paths lead through the Carmargue. These paths have natural surface. In the vicinity of dunes you sometimes have to walk and push your bike.

The tour goes past large areas of water with flamingos.

After 10 KM the tour starts to get boring. Everything repeats itself.

We made it to the lighthouse and then we're back.

I have never ventured as far into the ☆Réserve nationale de Camargue nature reserve as I have today. My route takes me along a dam (Digue à la Mer) that lies between the Étangs and the sea, via *Pertuis de Rousty (small weir) to the first pit stop, the ☆Phare de la Gacholle. Here I meet a handful of hikers …

Very nice path on the dike, but often bumpy on the touring bike. A few short and one longer sandy passages in May 2024. A challenge with luggage.
