Camargue Regional Natural Park
Camargue Regional Natural Park, Nature reserve in Bouches-du-Rhône, France.
Camargue Regional Natural Park is a protected area featuring wetlands, marshes, salt marshes, and rice fields situated between the Mediterranean Sea and the Rhône River. The terrain spans a vast expanse and provides space for diverse plant and animal species.
The area was shaped by human intervention in the 1800s, when dikes were built to regulate saltwater and prevent river flooding. These measures allowed agricultural lands to stabilize and made the region more suitable for settlement.
The region is known for its horse breed, raised here for centuries and shaping the landscape. Visitors often see these animals grazing freely and notice how deeply they connect with local identity.
The park offers various trails and routes for different activities such as walking, biking, and horseback riding. Visitors should bring appropriate gear and be prepared for weather conditions, especially during warmer months.
The area is home to a white horse breed that roams wild across the plains and is a defining feature of the landscape. At the same time, thousands of pink flamingos gather in the reed areas, especially during migration seasons.
