Beautiful cycle path, best ridden with a gravel bike or similar. It's not yet the heart of the Camargue, but a version with typically impressive flora and fauna

Gacholle Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

At the lighthouse of Gacholle you will find information about the nature reserve Camargue. The tower is not managed, so bring a picnic and vespern on the wind-protected tables by the lighthouse. There are postcards and water to buy.

The dyke bike path is really nice. Now in the dry late summer it only has water in the ponds at the beginning, so no flamingos further back. But very nice and many big dragonflies.

The weather forecast said today was the coolest day of the week, only 28 degrees, so get on your bike. Without a telephoto it will be difficult if you want to photograph flamingos here, so please always zoom in on the photos 😁
