It then leads to the banks of the Vaccar\u00e8s pond to discover a succession of infinite panoramas, where the water merges with the sky.<br \/>\nFrom the Arles Tourist Office, turn left onto Boulevard des Lices, then right onto Rue Gambetta in the direction of Trinquetaille and Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. Cross the Rhone river and continue in the direction of Saintes- Maries and Salin-de-Giraud.<br \/>\nAt the traffic circle (be careful), take the direction of Gimeaux, route communale 108. Until Gimeaux, follow the green signs &#8220;Chemin des taureaux et de la vigne&#8221;.<br \/>\nIn the hamlet, continue until the second sign on the left, which indicates the school of Gimeaux. Take this direction, pass in front of the school which is left on the left and continue.<br \/>\nAfter one kilometer, join the D570 (be careful, this road is very busy!), take on the right the D570 on a hundred meters. Then turn left on the communal road C125, direction &#8220;La Dougue Bouchaud&#8221;.<br \/>\nContinue for about a kilometer at the second intersection, take on the right the &#8220;Petit chemin de Sainte C\u00e9cile&#8221;. Progress along roads lined with trees. Numerous greenhouses are evidence of important market gardening.<br \/>\nAt the first crossroads, at the Mas de P\u00e9dassas, continue straight ahead in the direction of the Vaccar\u00e8s pond.<br \/>\nThen cross reed beds and a landscape essentially composed of rice fields. After crossing the Mas Sainte C\u00e9cile, continue in the direction of the Vaccar\u00e8s pond. It is an extremely clear landscape which makes you perceive the immensity of the Camargue territory.<br \/>\nWhen you reach the D37, turn right for 500 meters to stop at the observation point set up by the Parc Naturel R\u00e9gional de Camargue: a platform and explanatory panels present the flooded marshes and the Vaccar\u00e8s pond in the distance. Go back on your steps and continue on the D37 to Villeneuve.<br \/>\nIn this hamlet, turn left onto the D36b towards Gageron and Arles.<br \/>\nIn Gageron, turn left on the communal road 130 &#8220;De Bouchaud \u00e0 Gageron&#8221;, leave the church and the school on your left to leave Gageron and go back into the Camargue countryside. After 4 km, join the communal road C125, then the D570 where the circuit began. Join Arles by Gimeaux as you did on the way out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Camargue vibrates with all its ponds.
