The Camargue nature reserve is an exceptional natural park straddling the departments of Gard and Bouches-du-Rhône. With its vast expanses of marshes, lagoons and wild meadows, the region offers incomparable natural beauty and unique biodiversity.
Breathtaking landscapes, panoramas as far as the eye can see over the salt marshes, ponds, rivers and forests... This is what awaits you on this Camargue bike tour. The opportunity to get closer to a rich and varied fauna, with flamingos, bulls and wild horses.
Departing from Aigues-Mortes, served by the Camargue line, we first suggest that you take a short walk in town. Its ramparts are a real must in the region. Then, this loop takes the cycle route 65. Following the Petit Rhône, you arrive at the southernmost point of the natural park, along the Gulf of Beauduc in the Mediterranean. Lighthouses, ponds, salt marshes... The nuggets you come across are numerous!
You then head north, between the Fournelet pond and the Tour du Valat nature reserve. Then you go around the vast Vaccarès pond by tracks that bring you back to Aigues-Mortes.
This route is 110 kilometers long: it is quite a long distance. Do not hesitate to start early and bring a picnic and enough water. Take advantage of the surroundings and make stops, but without losing sight of the watch in order to have enough light for the return.

Aigues-Mortes
Highlight • Settlement
In the 17th century its port was the most powerful on the Mediterranean coast. Born from the desire of Louis IX to develop maritime trade, the city displays medieval architecture which was once intended to protect the Kingdom of France from invaders from the East.
Discover the Constance Tower, visit the Notre-Dame-des-Sablons church, stroll around Place Saint-Louis or even explore the chapel of the brotherhood of the Gray Penitents. Above all, don’t forget to taste the local fougasse. I recommend the one from Poitavin Frères which will delight your taste buds!
