Our Recommendations: Take a 3.5km long circular train ride (pictured left) along the Vaccarès lagoon . There are flamingos, wildlife and other migratory birds in close proximity – as the train is electric powered it doesn’t scare them off as it approaches. It is also possible to watch events in the arena displaying the expertise of the Camarguais horse riders.
For the Children: This is a splendid opportunity to show the children some wildlife in an interesting setting – the train ride makes the whole experience much more enjoyable for them!
