The Petite Camargue Alsacienne is the oldest nature reserve in the tri-country region, where France, Switzerland and Germany come together. It is located in the south of the Alsace [France], on an area of marshland covering a total of 900 hectares. The site is open all year round to the public, on either a ‘go as you please’ basis or for guided tours, and includes several marked-out trails. The reserve is the perfect place to observe the local fauna and flora. Here, visitors will find no less than 40 tree varieties, 180 bird species, 16 amphibian species and 40 varieties of dragonflies. The Petite Camargue is one of my regional top destinations for nature photography. From Basel, where I live, it takes me about 40 minutes by bike to get to the Petite Camargue visitor center.
