The final stage heads into the Rhône delta, at the heart of the Camargue, a nature reserve known for its pink flamingos, semi-wild white horses and black bulls raised in traditional herds. The route follows the Grand Rhône along managed levees, through completely flat, open scenery with nothing to obstruct the horizon.
Salin-de-Giraud, a village built around a large, still-active industrial salt works, offers a distinctive mineral landscape of white salt mounds contrasting with the surrounding green marshland.
Arriving in Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône, where the river finally flows into the Mediterranean after more than 800 km from Lake Geneva, symbolically closes out one of the longest cycling routes in France, linking the Alps to the sea.
Indicative distance for this stretch.
