Where to watch birds… in the Camargue Regional Nature Park - France The Camargue is the largest wetland in France and is renowned internationally for nature conservation and the protection of birds.Approximately two thirds of all birds found in Europe can be observed in the Camargue, making it a favourite destination for both professional and amateur ornithologists. Situated on the crossroads of Africa, Europe and the Mediterranean, the Camargue represents an important stopover for the hundreds of thousands of migrating birds that pass through each year. It is also home to the only Greater Flamingo nesting site in France. With the aim of promoting and protecting its unique natural and cultural heritage, the Camargue was classified as a Biophere Reserve by UNESCO in 1977 and a large section of it has been designated as a Regional Nature Park since 1970.
