Depart from Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône and embark on a morning tour of the Provence Grand Large (PGL) floating offshore wind farm.

Located 17 km off the coast, the 3 wind turbines at PGL each have an output of 8.4 megawatts and are mounted on floaters with ‘tensioned mooring lines’. The wind farm produced its first megawatts in December 2024.

On the way, we'll cross the mouth of the Rhône and sail along the Camargue coast. You'll have the chance to observe local bird species such as the Yelkouan shearwater, the Balearic shearwater, the Scopoli’s shearwater, terns (little Tern, common tern, Sandwich tern), or groups of migrating birds. Many other species of marine megafauna are regularly seen, including bottlenose dolphins, swordfish and bluefin tuna on the hunt.

The tour will continue in the Camargue Regional Nature Park, with a stop at Plage Napoléon to observe pink flamingos and migratory birds at the mouth of the Rhône.  

⚠ If the weather conditions do not allow sailing, a presentation of the pilot wind farm and its characteristics will be given indoors at Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône. The visit will continue in the Camargue regional nature park.

Located in the Camargue of the Gard region, the Scamandre nature reserve is representative of typical Mediterranean wetlands. The excursion will begin with a guided presentation of the area, the challenges and the methods used to protect it, the characteristic fauna of the reserve and the integrated human activities (manade, sagne...).

A guided tour of the reserve will then be organised to observe the natural ecosystems and its remarkable biodiversity.  

The reserve is home to 9 species of heron found in Europe, as well as the western swamphen and the vast majority of the current French population of the glossy ibis. The natural habitats, 12 of which are of Community interest, form a mosaic of environments that are home to a large number of highly endangered species, such as the European pond turtle.

Lunch will be provided on site, and you will have the opportunity to explore the various trails in the reserve.

Located in the Hérault department, less than an hour from Montpellier, Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert is a small medieval town and one of the ‘Most Beautiful Villages in France’. Gellone Abbey, a jewel of Languedoc Romanesque art, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.  

Numerous hiking trails leave from the town, winding through unspoilt countryside and revealing landscapes where steep cliffs meet Mediterranean vegetation. The path leading to the Cirque de l'Infernet passes through spectacular scenery offering views of the surrounding gorges and valleys.  

During your visit, you'll have the chance to enjoy some remarkable Mediterranean landscapes and observe the local wildlife.
