Lagoon and salt lakes with flamingos in the Camargue Regional Nature Park

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

A very impressive passage on the dignified to the sea. To the south the lagoon and the beach with its birds and particularly many red flamingos. And to the north the salty lakes, sometimes slippery all white and sometimes with floors in many different colors. Hike and let the surroundings enchant you.
The hike could be extended to the Gacholle lighthouse further east, but we returned to the eastern end of this pass.
Don't forget to take enough water and something to cover your head. If the weather is nice, yous always walk in full sun, you won't find any dark here.

Gacholle Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

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.
