Description

One of the best trails of the area to explore the Etang de Mejean and its fauna. You'll be able to witness numerous birds and their nests all along the trail.
The trail will lead you close to the pond shores where you can easily see the hundreds of flamingos (here from Fall to Spring). Best sightings occur in the Spring.

The trail is well marked and easy to follow. Some parts of the trail use wooden walkways but alternative routes are available nearby.
