Mosquitoes

Later this year ( end of April / May ) if events allow we are going to the Camargue, France and plan to spend 2 or 3 days there on the way to Spain.

The hope is of seeing the Pink Flamingos so the wife can get some decent photos of them for an idea she`s had for her business.

We`ve never been to the area before but i`ve had a good look on the interweb and found all the tourist info sites etc. etc.

Can anyone offer any first hand / actual experience of the area around The Camargue Regional Nature Park ?

I did some research on this area and it is well known for the mosquitoes, take plenty of Deet repellant!

Yeah I got bitten to death in the Camargue. I think there are over 100 different types of Mozzie there. We also on one Aire manged to adopt loads of these funny cricket type insects bug things. Cant remember what they were called but they got everywhere. Thy were quite cute though.

I was still finding them and evicting them in the UK a year later.

It was all a bit too flat and boring for me though. We had just spent six weeks on the Cote D'Azur between Monaco and Marseilles which was much more exciting.

Visit the Camargue Flamingos in Provence | Unmissable

This is a site worth a look when we visited in May we saw Flamingos & Horses but you may be better off with a guided tour to get the best sightings this is quote from web site
You have to book to visit them, as the area is fiercely protected to ensure that the birds continue to return to the area. The rest of the park is free to visit unguided but the birds get special attention and you’ll need a guided tour.’
