The Camargue is made up of a number of private estates which are not always open to the general public. To help you to enjoy your birdwatching experience in the best possible conditions, we’ve put together this booklet describing a number of the best observation sites and their different approaches for observing birds :

• trails with free access on sites of low sensitivity
• trails with purpose built hides on sites of special interest
• guided tours on highly sensitive and protected sites

We wish you a very enjoyable stay in the Camargue and hope you make the most of your time here. Please keep in mind that it’s the responsibility of each and every one of us to safeguard the area’s natural beauty.
