Camargue

In the Camargue, southern France, is a fabulously beautiful lake that has the ability to look quite dramatic. Sometimes, against the setting sun, it looks absolutely red. However, it is known not because of this, but because of the numerous pink flamingos that fly along its shores.

This breathtaking natural phenomenon was created due to the high levels of salt in the water. Salt crystals can be seen everywhere, and if you come across it when it has acquired its reddish color, you will decide that it is a scene from an alien movie. For decades, it has been the subject of lively interest from tourists from all over the world.

The lake in the Camargue is located in a swampy area around smaller lakes, among which are some of the most popular French resorts. As early as 1927, the Kamarga region was declared a reserve, and in 1970 it became a national park.

About 400 species of birds live in the lake in the Camargue and the marshes belonging to it, 160 of which are migratory. The diversity of fish is also great, which is why any oil spill from the Marseille refineries is considered catastrophic for the ecosystem.

Perhaps the main reason why it is worth visiting the lake in the Camargue is the famous love dance of the flamingo, which takes place in the spring. Then the organizers of the ornithological park lure these lovely birds with rice and they fill all the lagoons around.

You can visit the lake in the Camargue at any time of the year, but it is best to do so in the spring or summer. The famous one-week games are organized on Easter, and horse races are held in July.
