A listed area
The Espiguette lighthouse is located in the heart of an exceptional area. Visible from several kilometres away, it is the main feature of the Espiguette natural site: a unique, wild and unspoilt but fragile location, classified as a Grand Site de France.
Welcome to the Camargue region of Gard!
With its grid of rice fields, bull farms, flamingos and horses, the Camargue is also rich in centuries-old traditions that can be discovered in the arenas or in the streets of our villages. Nature can be explored at a leisurely pace thanks to the many hiking and cycling trails, and even from the water in a canoe along the eco-paddling trail. Endlessly changing landscapes, where flora and fauna display their full diversity. Between plains, meadows, marshes, pine forests, hidden paths, small roads, tracks… The light throughout the Camargue is dazzling in all seasons.
A site labelled Grand Site de France
In 2014, the Camargue Gardoise was awarded the Grand Site de France label.
A Grand Site de France is a place of exceptional beauty, bearing witness to the history and diversity of our country. Selected for its remarkable landscape, cultural and environmental value, the ‘Grand Site de France’ label is awarded to areas that have successfully implemented policies for the preservation, promotion and sustainable management of their heritage. These sites must also have a tourism development plan that respects the environment and local balance.
This label recognises initiatives to preserve and promote this site. By offering visitors a unique experience, L’Espiguette encourages contact with nature, exploration of a preserved environment and discovery of the lighthouse’s history, while contributing to its preservation for future generations.
