Park in the car park of the Musée de la Camargue, at Mas du Pont de Rousty, slightly south of the D570, between Arles and Albaron.
Signposts are located at major intersections.
(S/E) Head south, go to the back of the car park and pass between the museum on the right and a monumental wooden sculpture representing a boat on the left. At the T-junction, follow the discovery trail (wide gravel path) to the left.
(1) Turn right along the path and walk alongside a canal on your left. Continue straight ahead, passing a small pumping station and an EDF substation. Ignore a bridge on your left over the canal (farmhouse on the opposite bank) and continue straight ahead, walking alongside a rice field on your right.
(2) At the next intersection, go straight ahead towards the pastures and marsh. Facing a metal barrier (cattle control corridor on the other side), turn right towards the aquatic wildlife. Follow a path and walk along a stream on your right. Ignore the first footbridge on your left.
(3) Take the second footbridge to cross a small canal and immediately reach a viewpoint overlooking the reed beds. Retrace your steps.
(3) At the end of the footbridge, follow the path again, to the left (south-west). After about 150 m, climb onto a wooden footbridge which offers a beautiful panorama. Descend on the other side and you will immediately come to a junction with a wide sandy path.
(4) Follow the path to the left (south-southwest) for about 500 metres until you reach a fork. This fork leads to two particularly interesting points (you can choose the order that suits you best).
(5) Turn left towards the reed bed. A wooden walkway leads to a platform in the middle of the reeds. Retrace your steps.
(5) Follow the south-south-west path to the bird observatory, which you will reach quickly. Retrace your steps.
(5) Continue along the sandy path to the north-northeast.
(4) Continue straight ahead between two pasture fences towards the hut and museum. After about 400 m, you will find the old restored gardian hut on your left.
(6) Continue along the path and, at the T-junction that you will soon come to, follow a good grassy path to the right.
(2) At the T-junction, turn left towards the museum and walk along the canal on your right.
(1) Turn left and, after about 200 m, you will find the museum car park on your right (S/E).
