Discreet Camargue

(day trip)

Take the road to Port Saint-Louis, stopping off on the way to visit Van Gogh’s bridge - le Pont de Langlois... Following the path of the Roman canal from Arles to Fos-sur-Mer, turn left at Mas Thibert towards the Vigueirat marshes. Here you can see sansouires, areas colonised by vegetation adapted to salt water. Bird watching plus waterways. Visit the tower of Port-St-Louis-du-Rhône, then cross over to Salins de Giraud on the Barcarin ferry and explore the salt marshes and beaches. From the Domaine de la Palissade, guided tours of the countryside and view over the salt works. Return to Arles through the rice fields on the D36 (Rice museum).
