Good to know

• Walking in the Pont de Gau park is easy and mostly flat, though some areas are exposed to the sun.
• Spotting flamingos and other birds depends entirely on the season, weather, and water levels.
• Any extra paid visits inside the Pont du Gard or walking on the Aigues-Mortes ramparts are self-guided and depend on daily opening hours.

Frequently asked questions

Can we walk on the ramparts in Aigues-Mortes?

Yes, you can buy a ticket on-site if the monument is open. If you'd rather take it easy, just walking around the old town is already a great way to enjoy the stop.

Are we guaranteed to see flamingos?

It can't be guaranteed 100% since wildlife is unpredictable. But Pont de Gau is one of the best spots in the Camargue to see them, so the chances are usually very good.

Is this tour okay for kids or older travelers?

Absolutely, as long as everyone is fine with a few short walks and spending a full day in a car. Since it's a private tour, the pace can easily be adjusted to suit your needs.
