An ornithological park that covers more than 60 hectares. What to take full of eyes and bring back memories!

Located on the road to Arles, 4 kilometres north of Les Saintes-Maries, this ornithological park was born in 1949 with the installation of the first aviaries by André Lamouroux. Today, its beautiful history continues thanks to the work of his son and his grandchildren, who are now in charge of sixty hectares (the park originally measured 6,000 m²). In this natural area, two walks through the ponds and marshes are proposed to get closer to the birds, without disturbing them. The first, very wild, is called "Sentier du nord". It offers a fairly complete view of the diversity of the Camargue, particularly thanks to a judiciously placed observatory which allows you to discover teal, mallards, shelducks and geese at leisure. You can also see a good density of birds of prey, herons, rails, large and fine beaks, migratory or sedentary, as well as coypu. The second path winds its way between two ponds occupied by a large colony of pink flamingos that can be approached very closely. They are the stars of the show, and tourists love to take selfies with them. Between these two paths, a large space of an educational nature, illustrated with large and attractive descriptive plates, allows you to observe a succession of aviaries housing large, injured or disabled birds. It's a great place to take in the sights and bring back plenty of memories!

Espace de liberté pour les oiseaux
Un joli parcours nous permet d'observer tous les oiseaux sans avoir le sentiment de les déranger.

Parc intéressant à découvrir
2 circuits sont proposés pour la visite, les flamants roses se laissent presque approchés. Les indications sur le circuit sont fort instructives.

J'adore
Un parc toujours agréable à visiter, notamment en période de reproduction, ou de nourrissage des petits comme c'était le cas cette année ;)
Idéal pour les enfants car les oiseaux sont très visibles.
Promenez vous aux alentours également pour en voir des un peu plus sauvages...

Fabuleux
Tous les oiseaux de Camargue y sont, en commençant par les flamants rose par centaine dans l'eau mais aussi survolant le territoire et ca c'est beau !
Les ragondins aussi sont présents et bien sur des moustiques (tigres)
