Parc ornithologique de Pont-de-Gau, Bird park in Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, France.
The park extends across 60 hectares of marshes, ponds, reed beds, and salt meadows, creating varied ecosystems for numerous bird species.
Founded in 1949 by ornithologist André Lamouroux, the park transformed from a small aviary into a vast sanctuary for free-flying birds in 1974.
The park functions as an educational center, offering seven kilometers of discovery trails with informative panels about Camargue bird species.
Visitors can observe flamingos, herons, storks, and other wetland birds throughout the year, with binoculars recommended for optimal viewing.
The park maintains a rehabilitation center treating approximately 350 injured wild birds annually, supporting local wildlife conservation efforts.
