The marshes and reed beds of the fluvio-lacustrine Camargue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the northern part of the Camargue, the three large marshes (Saliers, Pont de Rousty and Grand Mar) are surrounded by a multitude of smaller marshes expanding east and west of the Vaccar\u00e8s pond. Sweet or barely salty, these shallow marshes are covered with vast reed beds, a suitable habitat for the reproduction of many bird species. These areas are pastures for bulls and horses from spring to autumn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les Vigueirat marshes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At the junction of the Rh\u00f4ne delta and the Crau, the Vigueirat marshes are a protected natural site where more than 2,000 animal and plant species are recorded. On foot, on horseback or in a carriage, with or without a guide\u2026 Nature is waiting for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vaccar\u00e8s, pond-king of the Camargue<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Vaccar\u00e8s is the largest pond in the Camargue, extending over 6,500 hectares with a depth that does not exceed 2 meters. The site of Vaccar\u00e8s is nearly identical to the area of the Camargue National Nature Reserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The site is managed by the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 nationale de protection de la nature<\/em> (SNPN) welcoming visitors at it\u2019s entry spot: La Capeli\u00e8re, Maison de la R\u00e9serve et du Vaccar\u00e8s.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

The salt marshes, a reconquest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the Salin-de-Giraud site, nature takes back its rights where men had shaped the landscape for the industrial exploitation of salt. In 2007, the Salins du Midi <\/em>company sold more than 6,000 hectares to the Conservatoire du Littoral<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
