Plage Napoléon

Plage Napoléon is a three-kilometer stretch of sandy shore facing the Mediterranean Sea in the Camargue region, with gentle slopes leading into the water. Sand dunes run along the beach and separate it from the inland areas behind.

A French military landing took place here in 1793 during operations along the Mediterranean coast. The beach's name carries this historical memory forward.

This beach is part of the broader Camargue landscape where local communities have maintained a strong connection to coastal life and nature conservation. You can sense how the environment shapes daily routines and leisure activities in this region.

The beach offers free access and convenient parking near the entrance for visitors. Lifeguards are on duty during the warmer months to monitor water safety.

The sand dunes here serve as nesting grounds for several Mediterranean bird species throughout the year. Birdwatchers can spot different species depending on the season.
