Parc Régional de Camargue

The Camargue Regional Nature Park was set up in 1970; covering an area of 820sq.km/320sq.mi, it takes in roughly the whole of Grande Camargue. The aim is to preserve the traditional landscape, provide natural surroundings for the flora and fauna and foster tourism.

The southern part, the Etang de Vaccarès and the adjoining coastal area have been nature reserves since 1975.
