ポールサンルイデュローヌの天然記念物・トップ4

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.

greenway from Fos to the train station - unfortunately no signs

An impressive rock. One of the last rock formations that you can see before you continue west and you only see the flat Camargue.

Nowhere else in southern Europe live more flamingos. Together with the wild horses and the black bulls, they characterize the landscape of the Carmargue. The pink waterfowl, otherwise only known from zoos, can be observed in the wild at one of the numerous etangs. For example at the Etang de Vaccares in the heart of the Camargue, which has been a nature reserve since 1970. You can cycle around the Etang on a day tour (approx. 70 kilometres) or you can take a half-hour walk from the La Capelliere information center (on the D 36b) through swamps, reeds, reeds and salt marshes. The D 36b on the east bank of the salt lake takes you very close to the Etang, so that you can observe lemming colonies from the side of the road.

The first part of the road from Fos is dangerous and unpleasant, you have to arrive at the Salins de Giraud to find a safe and quiet route, and to be able to enjoy the beautiful landscapes of the Camargue.

scenic bike path on the isthmus between the two etangs. Stupid locks at the beginning and end. Hard to get through with luggage.

Above all, the way higher through the salt pans is worth the trip - due to the rather long route, it is more likely to be by car than on foot, but there is enough space here to stretch your feet.

The beach Plage de Piemanson should be familiar to most fans of the south of France. Until 2015, wild camping was tolerated there directly on the beach. Since the beach now looked like a shabby, overcrowded and, above all, full of garbage, the main municipality of Arles took action and had the beach cleared. After consultation with the municipality of Salin-De-Giraud, the beach was then released again as a parking area at least between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. The business people reportedly had around 60% sales losses in the months of May to September 2015 compared to 2016. Salin-De-Giraud created a larger free accommodation area and a supply / disposal station.
