The Pont-de-Gau BIRD-WATCHING PARK
just over two miles from Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer
Accessible to disabled visitors.
An area of 150 acres totally dedicated to birds and their natural habitat.
A four-mile trail (accessible to everyone) allows visitors to discover the marshes, roubines (irrigation canals), ponds and lakes, which so characterise the Camargue area. You’ll be able to watch the many different species of birds which live here, observing them up close; from herons and storks to numerous birds of prey, waders and, of course, flamingos.
Each year, around 350 injured birds are cared for in the park’s sanctuary before being released back into the wild.
The park also focuses on promoting conservation, and runs numerous themed days.
