La Camargue encompasses the Rhone River delta in the southeast of France. It is one of the best places in Europe for birdwatching; also great for biking and horse riding.

The short trail has the greatest number of seabirds. Lots of herons, flamingos, egrets, stilts, gulls, avocets, ibis and other birds. You can see them fairly close and in their nests. Coypu can be spotted in the grass and trails as well. Once inside, you can stay although the entrance closes. The evening was when the flamingos could be seen flying in formation. There is a small snack bar and you can bring your own picnic. The longer trail was also an easy walk. Of course, the time of year will alter the birds that are present. There are good signs along the trail with information about recent sightings.

Very elegant. Hits every major local specialty and has almost nothing from outside the region on the menu.

The most rustic – most likely to prepare food you absolutely cannot get outside of the Camargue. The display of their dishes, remote location, and menu selection suggests it is probably a worthwhile experience.
