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.
