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.

Trail to the Gacholle Lighthouse

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

You can buy water if you miss it, but it's just troubleshooting. Picnic tables in the shade (there are not many around).

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

December 26, 2024,🇨🇵 W-e-i-t-e🗼Sicht🦩

I have never ventured as far into the ☆Réserve nationale de Camargue nature reserve as I have today. My route takes me along a dam (Digue à la Mer) that lies between the Étangs and the sea, via *Pertuis de Rousty (small weir) to the first pit stop, the ☆Phare de la Gacholle. Here I meet a handful of hikers …

October 30, 2023,Flamingo Trail, Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer

Hello Komootler, Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer is a must see if you are in the area. Unfortunately the weather didn't quite cooperate. But then I was able to cycle the Flamingo Trail between the fronts. There was also a quick look into the bullfighting arena. Unfortunately, I was noticed and asked to leave. The event was not public. The bull was even teased …

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.

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.

March 15, 2024,Auf dem Flamingo Trail zum Leuchtturm

This lighthouse stands in the heart of the Camargue. The path is actually compacted sand with gravel and it rolls well. But there are a few sand bunkers in the way. This quicksand can cause falls. Using momentum is the wrong method. It's better to switch down and switch up the support. Then Leker straight ahead and slowly through. I've …
