The Carbonnière Tower

Park in the car park dedicated to visitors to the site, on the left of the D46 and shortly after the bridge when arriving from the south. Information sign: "Grand site de la Camargue gardoise" (Major site of the Camargue in the Gard).
Marked route, red and white, via the^GR®®42

(S/E) Take the boardwalk to the Carbonnière Tower and carefully cross the road to reach it.

(1) Climb to the top for a panoramic view of the surrounding area. Descend, carefully cross the other lane of the road and take the path that heads north, following the long road that runs over a series of bridges, which was once the only land route to Aigues-Mortes.

(2) At the end of this causeway, when the path turns right (and is often flooded in winter), retrace your steps.

(3) Cross the Vistre river and return to the car park (S/E).

Very easy walk. Walking shoes, preferably hiking boots in winter as the path between (1) and (2) can be muddy.

Beautiful view from the top of the tower over the marshes frequented by many birds.

The path along the old road allows you to observe this structure resting on a series of bridges.
