Mag's walks at Mas la Cour des Boeufs

Magali invites you to visit her little paradise.
This private estate, between the Camargue and Crau, is a breeding ground for Camargue horses and Spanish bulls, whose grazing provides rich and varied ecosystems. You'll discover remarkable biodiversity all along the walk, comfortably seated on the converted trailer.

Prices: €10 to €20

Discovering the European Cistude

Discreet, rare and threatened, come and discover and observe the European Cistude, a species of aquatic turtle living in the Camargue marshes. You'll meet the Cistudes basking in the sun on the Cabanes trail, accompanied by a naturalist guide who will give you lots of information about this species and how to protect it.
An ideal outing for children!

Price: €10 to €15


- May 29 at Marais du Vigueirat, chemin de l'Etourneau - 9am and 4pm (duration 3h)

On the snake trail at Vigueirat

Join Maxime Briola, naturalist photographer on the "Serpents, du mythe à la réalité" project, on a snake discovery walk. It's a great opportunity to learn more about these fascinating animals and get the chance to see them in their natural habitat.

Prices: €10 to €25

Meeting point at the Marais du Vigueirat parking lot. We will then drive to Domaine Lou Cassaire, D35 Route de Port Saint Louis du Rhône. Carpooling is encouraged between the Marais and the estate, which is around 14 km from the reception. It will be possible to park along the road parallel to the D35 that runs alongside the Cassaïre.

Discover the Cassaïre estate

Discover this property owned by the Conservatoire du Littoral, which is usually closed to the public. Formerly used for hunting and rice-growing, the estate is now being ecologically restored in partnership with the Amis des Marais du Vigueirat and the Tour du Valat.

Head in the stars to meet the celestial animals

9pm, the Sun will set in a few minutes, perhaps offering us a mythical Green Ray. Another challenge lies ahead: spotting the very thin crescent Moon less than 24 hours old.
After that, the Astronomes Amateurs Du Delta will take you in pursuit of celestial animals such as a bull, a small horse, hunting dogs, a crow or a swan, which is normal in the Marais de Vigueirat... But you'll also discover bears, a giraffe, a dragon or even the tail of a unicorn... All with the naked eye and the associated legends...
Your thirst for celestial objects won't be forgotten: with the telescopes these enthusiasts will be putting at your disposal, you'll be able to observe not only Mars and Venus, but also galaxies, star clusters and planetary nebulae!
An evening between reading the constellations and observing celestial objects, between myth and reality...

Prices: €10 to €15


- May 30 and 31 at Marais du Vigueirat, chemin de l'Etourneau - 2:30pm (duration 2h30)

Discover spring migratory birds

During an introductory walk, the naturalist guide will show you the diversity of birds that spend the summer in the Camargue: European Bee-eaters, Purple Herons, Black Kites and many Terns. The migration period is particularly rich in species diversity, with some arriving to nest, others just passing through.

rates: €20 to €25
