Camargue is a vast area, located south of the city of Arles.
Between flora and fauna, this land is a true nature reserve. In addition to wilderness, it offers prestigious products such as rice and salt, which are considered culinary excellences.
Camargue is an area located south of Arles, between the Mediterranean and the two arms of the Rhone delta. It is a fertile land for flora and fauna, so much so that it is a protected area and home to the Camargue Regional Nature Park.
In this area, there are more than 400 species of birds, with the saltwater ponds providing one of the few European habitats for the pink flamingo. The ponds are also then conducive to insect life, including some of the fiercest mosquitoes in all of France. Camargue is home to a particular breed of white horses, called the Camargue.
Another typical landscape of this region are the sansouries, salt-soil grasslands where the saltwort, a fleshy plant, grows and where bulls and horses graze freely.
The flora of the Camargue is adapted to coexist with saltwater conditions; thus, sea lavender flourishes in addition to tamarisk, willows and reeds.
For nature lovers, a visit to this wilderness is an absolute must.
