Description

(Local Name: Musée Camarguais) Some 10km/6mi southwest of Arles, on the marshy Plaine de Meyran, by the D570 just before Albaron, lies the Mas du Pont de Rousty. An old sheep farm now houses the Nature Reserve Center and the Musée Camarguais, which provides information about the history of the region and way its inhabitants lived. A walk lasting some 1.5 hours along a 3.5km/2mi path will provide instruction on peasant life and rural conditions.
