  3. All these places have natural particularity which merit special protection… The Crau’s agricultural products benefit from different labels. The Alpilles is Regional Nature Park since the year 2007. The Regional Nature Park of Camargue is much older since it was created in 1975. Furthermore, it has in its heart a natural reserve (higher protection) and it is a UNESCO biosphere reserve. Now, let’s go on a short visit…

  4. The Crau The plain of Crau is well known for its sheeps flocks.

  5. Every year, there is the transhumance: in spring time, the sheeps are taken to the mountains (Alpes). They go through villages. Then in automn they come back to the plain of Crau for the winter.

  6. This area is also a land of market gardenning and orchard (especially peaches and apricots).

  7. The Alpilles They are small mountains with a warm and dry climate.

  8. This area, made of pine forest and scrubland is very sensitive.

  9. Protected fauna of the Alpilles (Bonelli’s eagle, the owl big duke,noctulebats, etc.)

  10. The main agricultural activity in the Alpilles is the olive growing.

  11. The Camargue is a land of water, sand, salt and wind…. Long wild sands beaches spread along the Mediterranenan sea. The area corresponds to the Rhone river delta which allows growing rice fields.

  12. Pink flamingoes in the salt marshes

  13. Black bulls and white horses

  14. A paradise for birds

  15. But... We also have to stop doing this : So we all should follow paying attention and educating children about preservation of the nature.
