Stage 2 of the "La Camargue à vélo" cycling itinerary between Aigues-Mortes and Arles. And 4 additional itineraries.
-
From Aigues-mortes, we follow the Rhône à Sête canal to Gallician. A landscape of green and blue, the colors of rice fields and vineyards. Then there's the riparian forest, a mix of elms and poplars, sprinkled here and there with a hint of silver.
And then the reed beds come into play, framing the path and providing shelter for birds. Egrets, herons and other European rollers like to hide here. The sagnes sometimes offer glimpses of bull pastures, only separated from cyclists by roubines...From Aigues-mortes, we follow the Rhône à Sête canal to Gallician.

Finally, it's along the Petit-Rhône that you'll reach Saint Gilles and Arles.
