Great outing... watch out for mosquitoes (bring spray or lotion before leaving) From the Gacholle lighthouse, we headed towards Pointe de Beauduc (alone in the world with the flamingos... pure bliss)

The lighthouse of La Gacholle is located in the department of Saintes-Marie-de-la-Mer, in the Bouches-du-Rhône, on the sea dike, between the ponds of the Dame, the Tampan and Galabert. Built at the end of the 19th century to facilitate access to Beauduc's anchorage, it was partially destroyed during the Second World War and put back into service in 1948. The building has a square tower masonry, eighteen meters smooth high.

You can drive a long way there by car, but the way over the dyke is a single mogul slope. Better to go by bike from Saintes Maries de la Mer. That's only 13 km. Apart from the lighthouse, which is really pretty, there is nothing else to see besides the landscape.

You are surrounded by water and most of the time it is deserted (but with good cell phone reception).

Always worth seeing: a flying flamingo. Since you are quite close to the breeding and wintering grounds, you can be lucky and they will pass you by.

Route through the flamingo breeding area. The path could be partially flooded with high tide and strong winds.

Beautiful connection through ponds and marshes, in the sun ... Passage to the pretty Lighthouse of Cachole, at the site of the Machine du Petit Rascailhan.
