The Rhône-Sète Canal is the natural articulation of the territory.
The Rhone-Sète Canal
Formerly called the Beaucaire Canal , it is the link between the wetlands and the Costières and crosses our territory from east to west, from the Rhône to the Canal du Midi . Built at the end of the 19th century despite the interruptions and the hostility of the inhabitants towards it, this canal has a preponderant place on our territory.
The south EN
Large reed beds occupy the marsh and fluviolacustrine wetlands. There are also wet grasslands that are naturally preserved and by the Camargue horses and bulls. The meadows around Le Cailar are the most striking example. This little bit of paradise in the heart of the Petite Camargue will amaze you with the beauty of its landscapes, its harmony between man, nature and wildlife, and its tranquillity. As the locals say, this is such a wonderful place to live that some species of birds, which usually stay in the north, come here and never want to leave!
The north
On the other side of the canal, the Costières hillsides offer landscapes with exceptional views. This area exemplifies a polyculture combining viticulture on pebbles and arboriculture. If you are lucky, you may catch a glimpse of the little bustard in the cultivated plains.
