At the gateway to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, the Camargue Regional Natural Park unfolds its landscapes of water, salt and light. Here, amidst marshes, salt marshes and lagoons, the greater flamingo reigns supreme. In the shallow waters, these graceful birds, with their pink feathers and wings tinged with red and black, perform an unforgettable aerial ballet.

The moment one of them spreads its wings at sunrise, as seen in the photo, encapsulates all the magic of the Camargue: wild, fragile and vibrant. A refuge for hundreds of species, this protected area is also a centre of life and traditions, where white horses, black bulls and gypsy festivals punctuate local life. Between nature and culture, Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer invites you to a unique sensory immersion, in the heart of one of the most beautiful biodiversity sanctuaries in Europe.
