Camargue

The Camargue is a natural wetland area in the south of France, famed for its diverse wildlife, especially flamingos, horses, and bulls. Its landscape consists of marshes, lagoons, and rice fields, supporting a rich ecosystem. Historically, it has been shaped by the Rhône River’s sediment and tidal flows, creating a unique environment for birdwatching, agriculture, and traditional livestock farming. The region’s cultural heritage includes salt production and rustic festivals. Recognized as a UNESCO biosphere reserve, the Camargue balances nature conservation with sustainable human activity, offering visitors a distinctive blend of natural beauty and local traditions.
