Les Marais du Vigueirat, Cabanes de l'Etourneau, 13104 Arles
As the first rays of sunlight tint the sky and water from pink to orange, the thousands of Cranes that have come to spend several months at the Marais du Vigueirat begin to trumpet their distinctive "Krooh Krooh".
They soar in squadrons overhead. The clamor grows louder and louder until the first rays of sunlight appear.
Regenerated by their night's rest in the Marais du Vigueirat, which offers them an exceptional haven of peace, the greater damselflies leave this dormitory to feed in neighboring fields up to several dozen kilometers away.

From December to February, some 10,000 cranes can be observed on the site. A fascinating and exceptional moment to experience in the company of a naturalist guide, who will tell you all about the life of these elegant waders over a hot cup of coffee.
