Description

It is a little paradise that has been nicknamed “PETITE CAMARGUE”. A combination of Mediterranean salt water and the fresh water from the Argens River, it is a paradise for protected wildlife. A place to explore with binoculars or a camera. Simply dazzling as you come around the bend of a trail or a look out point, a unique encounter. Just magical.
