Recommended by a member

A coastal lagoon with a unique ecosystem, the Etang de Berre is the second largest salt pond in Europe and the first in France. It is 20 kilometres long and between 16.5 and 9.5 kilometres wide. Several nautical clubs offer activities such as catamarans, but you can also fish, relax.... The surroundings of the pond are home to 250 species of birds, and observatories allow you to admire them without disturbing them. The pond's salt works are classified as a special protection zone, which means that it is a question of respecting the area and its inhabitants, but it is also a very beautiful place to discover.
