Étang du Fournelet – Tour du Valat Nature Reserve

Highlight • Lake

Here we saw flamingos up close. The asphalt is poor, but still rideable on a racing bike. The landscape and the animals are the real goal.

Side road north of Salin-de-Giroud

Highlight • Other

This quiet side road leads from Salin-de-Giroud to the Etang du Fournelet and the Etang de Vaccares, right through the nature reserve with flamingos, cormorants, and horses, and a unique landscape. The asphalt is very rough, often cracked, and in some places borderline. With 30 mm tires and 4 bar pressure, I found it okay. This is definitely not a speedway.

Camargue Salt Flats

Highlight • Natural Monument

This natural site, between land and sea, is a true haven for nature lovers. Walking along the salt marshes, you can observe exceptional wildlife, including pink flamingos, emblematic of the region. The vast expanses of salt and the white mountains in the background create a setting that is both wild and soothing.
