The gypsy camp memorial
A memorial was erected in memory of the gypsies locked up in the Saliers camp between 1942 and 1944. They were locked up because the law of April 6, 1940 prohibited the movement of nomads throughout the metropolitan territory for the duration of the war and imposed house arrest.
Lauricet wood
Lauricet wood is one of the rare wooded areas of the Camargue. The remaining woods are generally along the river, which provides them with the fresh water they need. These woods constitute important habitats for local fauna.
