ORNITHOLOGICAL PARK OF THE BRIDGE OF GAU

An ornithological park that covers more than 60 hectares. What to take full of eyes and bring back memories!
Located on the road to Arles, 4 kilometres north of Les Saintes-Maries, this ornithological park was born in 1949 with the installation of the first aviaries by André Lamouroux. Today, its beautiful history continues thanks to the work of his son and his grandchildren, who are now in charge of sixty hectares (the park originally measured 6,000 m²). In this natural area, two walks through the ponds and marshes are proposed to get closer to the birds, without disturbing them. The first, very wild, is called "Sentier du nord". It offers a fairly complete view of the diversity of the Camargue, particularly thanks to a judiciously placed observatory which allows you to discover teal, mallards, shelducks and geese at leisure. You can also see a good density of birds of prey, herons, rails, large and fine beaks, migratory or sedentary, as well as coypu. The second path winds its way between two ponds occupied by a large colony of pink flamingos that can be approached very closely. They are the stars of the show, and tourists love to take selfies with them. Between these two paths, a large space of an educational nature, illustrated with large and attractive descriptive plates, allows you to observe a succession of aviaries housing large, injured or disabled birds. It's a great place to take in the sights and bring back plenty of memories!
