Park in the car park of the Musée de la Camargue, at Mas du Pont de Rousty, just south of the D570, between Arles and Albaron.
Signposts are provided at major junctions.
(S/E) Head south, make your way to the back of the car park and pass between the museum on the right and a monumental wooden sculpture of a boat on the left. At the T-junction, follow the nature trail (wide gravel path) to the left.
(1) Turn right onto the path and walk alongside a canal on your left. Continue straight on, passing a small pumping station and an EDF substation. Ignore a bridge on the left over the canal (farmhouse on the opposite bank) and continue straight on, walking alongside a rice field on your right.
(2) At the next junction, go straight on towards the pastures and the marsh. Facing a metal gate (livestock enclosure on the other side), turn right towards the aquatic wildlife. Follow a path and walk alongside a stream on your right. Ignore the first footbridge on the left.
(3) Take the second footbridge to cross a small canal and immediately reach a viewpoint overlooking the reed beds. Retrace your steps.
(3) As you leave the footbridge, follow the path again to the left (south-west). After about 150 m, climb up a wooden footbridge offering a beautiful panoramic view. Descend on the other side and you will immediately reach a junction with a wide sandy path.
(4) Follow the path to the left (south-south-west) for about 500 m until you reach a fork. This fork leads to two particularly interesting spots (you can choose the order that suits you best).
(5) Turn left towards the reed bed. A boardwalk leads to a platform in the middle of the reeds. Retrace your steps.
(5) Follow the south-south-westerly path towards the bird observatory, which you will reach quickly. Retrace your steps.
(5) Continue along the sandy path north-north-east.
(4) Continue straight on between two pasture fences towards the hut and the museum. After about 400 m, you will find the restored old herdsman’s hut on the left.
(6) Continue along the path and, at the T-junction which you’ll soon reach, turn right onto a good grassy path.
(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 the right (S/E).
