Etang de Vaccares - Camargue National Nature Reserve

Highlight • Lake

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.

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.

Flamingos in Parc Naturel Régional de Camargue

Highlight • Natural

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

Many cycle paths lead through the Carmargue. These paths have natural surface. In the vicinity of dunes you sometimes have to walk and push your bike.

The tour goes past large areas of water with flamingos.

After 10 KM the tour starts to get boring. Everything repeats itself.

We made it to the lighthouse and then we're back.

Due to the temperatures of 35-38 degrees, we skipped the detour to the north 🥵. We saw this route on the way back from the car and realized that the tour towards the lighthouse was the better choice.

Very nice path on the dike, but often bumpy on the touring bike. A few short and one longer sandy passages in May 2024. A challenge with luggage.
