The
colours of nature s’y mèlent harmoniously:
pink of Flemish, black of the bulls and white tasks of
the horses. Carnon, it is the Camargue, the country of
the marshes, a vast natural park. City with strong identity,
it seeks to preserve through its inheritance.
It
has the characteristic of diversity due to the extended
from
its territory which is divided into two entities:
Mauguio with its preserved site of the Pond of the
However and Carnon with its littoral, its dunes and
its beaches
which add the attraction of the sea to the traditions
of the Petite Camargue.
Of its orchards, while passing by its market-gardening
grounds and its herds, its zones of activities and
its seaside resort, it offers to all those which will
come
to visit it, a reception and a setting favourable at
the holidays, idleness but also with many sports or
cultural activities.
