Reviews
Amazing for birdwatching, we where very lucky on the 3K walk with seeing some rare birds. Nice little souvenir shop & kind workers, who explain everything.
They have a lunch break so we had to wait to get in officially. This luch break is not mentioned anywhere. We went to see the horses, they were not in the stables and despite taking the middle route we haven't seen any of them.
I really wanted to like this place and enjoy our horseback ride through the camargue but the staff failed to tell us about the massive swarms of mosquitos awaiting us as soon as we started our journey. There were multiple opportunities for the staff to tell us or remind us about mosquito repellent and to prepare for the worst but only when we got on the ride did we realize that we were swarmed by mosquitos. We asked the instructor to turn around and she indicated that we would have to turn the whole group around and essentially ruin the ride for everyone else. I walked away with no less than 500 mosquito bites all over my body (this is not an exaggeration). The rest of the group looked equally as bitten. Potentially it’s not as bad when it doesn’t rain the day before but I cannot attest to that. If you go prepare to douse yourself in mosquito repellent and wear appropriate clothing.
Great horseback ride offer with a very knowledgeable guide who loves his horses and Camargue
