点评:We spent a full day in the Camargue Regional Park and it was one of the most peaceful and memorable parts of our trip. The landscape felt completely different from the rest of Provence—more open, raw, and full of life.
We started at the Parc Ornithologique de Pont de Gau, near Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. The park is beautifully laid out, with wooden walkways and quiet trails through the wetlands. We were amazed by the number of flamingos—dozens of them just a few meters away, feeding or flying low over the water. We also saw herons, storks, and many other birds. It was relaxing and incredibly photogenic.
After the walk, we headed to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, a small seaside town with white houses and a calm, laid-back atmosphere. We wandered through the streets, visited the old church, and spent some time on the beach. The whole area felt authentic and not too touristy, which we really appreciated.
What struck us most about the Camargue was the sense of space and quiet. We passed salt flats, lagoons, wild horses in the distance, and even a few black bulls grazing near the road. It was a perfect break from the busier towns in Provence.
Tips:
• Visit early or late in the day to avoid the heat and enjoy better light for photos.
• Bring water, sun protection, and comfortable shoes.
• Binoculars or a camera with a zoom lens are great if you enjoy birdwatching.
We left feeling calm, refreshed, and inspired by this unique part of France. Highly recommended for nature lovers and anyone looking for something a bit off the beaten path.
翻译:我们在卡马格地区公园度过了一整天,这是我们旅程中最宁静、最难忘的体验之一。这里的景色与普罗旺斯的其他地方截然不同——更加开阔、原始,充满生机。
我们从圣玛丽德拉梅尔附近的高桥鸟类公园出发。公园布局优美,有木质步道和穿过湿地的静谧小径。火烈鸟的数量之多令我们惊叹不已——几十只火烈鸟就在几米之外,或觅食,或低空飞翔。我们还看到了苍鹭、鹳和许多其他鸟类。这令人心旷神怡,而且非常上镜。
散步结束后,我们前往圣玛丽德拉梅尔,这是一个海滨小镇,拥有白色的房屋和宁静悠闲的氛围。我们漫步街头,参观了古老的教堂,还在海滩上度过了一段时光。整个地区都给人一种原始质朴的感觉,没有太多的游客,我们对此非常欣赏。
卡马格最令我们印象深刻的是它开阔的空间感和宁静的氛围。我们经过盐滩、泻湖,远处还有野马,甚至还有几头黑牛在路边吃草。这里是远离普罗旺斯繁华城镇的绝佳休憩之所。
小贴士:
• 建议清晨或傍晚前往,避开炎热的天气,并享受更佳的光线,拍摄出更美的照片。
• 携带饮用水、防晒霜和舒适的鞋子。
• 如果您喜欢观鸟,双筒望远镜或带变焦镜头的相机是不错的选择。
离开时,我们感到平静、神清气爽,并被这片法国独特的土地所鼓舞。强烈推荐给热爱自然以及寻求与众不同体验的人们。
