Caution, sure-footedness required!

Flamingos as far as the eye can see 🦩🤩

The pertuis de la Fourcade, located on the sea wall at Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, is a strategic structure. For the Camargue Islands, it is an important tool for draining floodwaters into the Rhône and combating flooding by the sea. It is also the main site for biological exchange between all the ponds in the Vaccarès system and the Mediterranean Sea and for the inflow and outflow of migratory fish.

Lost at the end of the world, just a few steps from home! No motor vehicles for more than 20 km, almost no one this morning of November 3. The colors, the birds, the plants, these reflections on the water, this light. It's simply magical! A serenity that is more than worth the detour.

At the end of the beach, time stands still in a dazzling reverie.

After strong winds, lots of beautiful mussel shells in all colors 😀

The tour of the pond offers a natural and wild panorama with diverse fauna. Of course we are in the Camargue, so we come across numerous farms of more or less wild animals, horses and bulls, but also foxes, coypus... We are in marshes, the ornithological species are numerous, pink flamingos, storks, egrets for cite only the most emblematic ones. In short, landscape and wildlife offer an absolutely unique spectacle of nature

Again and again great views, easy to drive underground, windy, partly sandy short sections (a few meters). The area around the lighthouse with tables and benches and windless spots is suitable for a break.
