Could have been great. But we were stuck in an hour demonstration show of bulls and horses. 45 minutes of the demonstration with a French man loving the sound of his voice and 15 minutes of the actual show. And translation for a massive German group of men. Very boring. A young bull jumped the low wall and her horn fell off, hanging and bloody. That did it for us. And the train ride was rickety, noisy with a the driver having to shout through the old speakers. Saw mainly mosquitoes and some swamp cows.. No

A very unique place and definitely must visit. You will enjoy every minute here. You can get a horse riding experience ( the place we asked was 45 euro pp for 2 hours, but they we closed that day). Very peaceful and quiet and very beautiful.

This place is a wetland paradise for birds and other wildlife. The whole area is also steeped in history with fantastic places to visit We stayed for 5 days but wish it was longer.

Magnificent, majestic in all it's splender. We visited the horses, the bulls, flamingo's, herons of all sorts, even saw nutria (beaver rats). It was very quiet (tourists) compared to previous years, but nature flourishes as never before. We will return to absorb all the beautiful sights.

Beautiful bird sanctuary with a many flamingo ponds. The park has a short walk and a slightly longer 'wilder' wetland area. Lots of horses running around as well. Great place to bring children. Loved it.

Beautiful park between the Rhône Delta and Mediterranean sea. We went there to see the sea, visit the ornithological park and go horse riding. Everything is very close by and quite well preserved. We were however a bit sad to see that there was a lot of plastic pollution on the sea. We spent some time collecting plastic on the beach and it was easily. It's easy to find restaurants or shops in Saintes-Marie-de-la-Mer and it's fairly close from a lot of things in Camargue. We went there end of October and the weather was perfect, but I heard that summer times can be quite tough with mosquitoes and heat.
