Ornithological park of Pont de Gau
The Pont de Gau Ornithological Park is an ideal place to discover, observe, and photograph pink flamingos, as well as many other bird species, by following the trails that wind through marshes and reed beds.
Since 1974, the park has managed its natural areas with a constant focus on conservation, nature protection, and public awareness. It also houses a wildlife care center and offers visitors, whether experts or enthusiasts, an enriching insight into the lives of birds through explanatory panels, identification sheets, and migration maps.
On one hectare, large aviaries allow observation of species that are difficult to see in their natural habitat, each placed in a faithfully recreated biotope. Kilometers of trails wind through marshes and reed beds, offering unique observation points and special moments for attentive visitors.
In the heart of the Ginès marsh, where a herd of bulls grazes in the high season, an observation hide allows for discreet wildlife viewing, respecting their privacy. The park covers a total area of 60 hectares, providing a true refuge for the biodiversity of the Camargue.
