Circuit Camargue horse and rice

If the village only had its church and a few houses in the 19th century, it is at the center of a territory that includes the most beautiful farmhouses in the Camargue: the painted farmhouse, the Cazeau tower farmhouse. This sector specializes in the breeding of herds of bulls and the cultivation of rice, including organic rice. There is also an important private research center on the flora and fauna of the marshes, the biological station of the Tour du Valat.

The Tour du Valat aims to promote and directly contribute to the conservation of Mediterranean wetlands. The central part has been designated as a Voluntary Nature Reserve since 1984. It is the largest in France. The station and the reserve are only open to the public 2 days a year, during an open day in January and February. Normally, access to the Station is reserved for scientists.
