Maison du Grand Site de France Camargue Gardoise

In 2014, the Camargue gardoise was awarded the Grand Site de France distinction, in recognition of the exceptional beauty of its landscapes and the operations undertaken by the area to conserve and enhance them.
The Maison du Grand Site de France - La Marette is one of the gateways to understanding these natural spaces and this label. Its varied museography includes permanent and temporary exhibitions, a specialized store and a discovery trail (access is restricted during the hunting season, from early October to late January. Please consult us before using it).
