A natural site bordered by the Petit-Rhône, where you can admire preserved flora and fauna just a few minutes from the center of Arles.

With a surface area of more than 6,500 hectares and a length of 12 km, the Vaccarès pond is the largest pond in the Camargue. Nicknamed the Grand Mar, it is surrounded by the Petit-Rhône, the Grand-Rhône and the sea. A paradise for lovers of discovery, you can admire a preserved fauna and flora. It is notably an important resting and feeding place for migratory birds. The pink flamingos are also very numerous. Please note that swimming and fishing are forbidden in the part of the pond classified as a reserve.

bien mais pas clair
Un joli site mais impossible de se balade autour de l'étang.
c'est bien d'aller jusqu'au bout (au niveau du phare) pour se balade vers le phare puis proche d'une plage
Ou alors sympa à faire en vélo

Un étang au charme naturel avec une faune et flore typique de la Camargue. J'apprécie y découvrir de nombreux animaux (la tortue cistude, des ragondins et une multitude d'oiseaux migrateurs). J'y suis allé en fin de journée et je recommande le soleil couchant sur cet étang pour faire de magnifiques photos ou observations.

Hautement intéressant pour les repos d'oiseaux (retour au dortoir) notamment hérons, aigrette, flamand rose en nombre)
