Beyond the beaches and crowds
Beyond the beaches and crowds, so many natural areas remain to be discovered along the coastline PACA. The most famous is undoubtedly the Camargue Regional Nature Park and the National Parks of Port-Cros and Creeks, dubbed "National Park" in 2012 for the latter (the tenth in France) as it has a unique biodiversity. However, one must also add the number of sites managed by the Coastal Conservancy, often genuine eco-tourism treasures. Thus, at the foot of the Massif des Maures, facing the Islands of Hyères, in the Var, Domaine du Rayol is a protected natural area of 20 hectares where the landscape architect Gilles Clément designed the Mediterranean Gardens, an invitation to travel through Mediterranean landscapes of the world and more arid landscapes and subtropical climates. Another idea, discover the Natural reserve of the Marais Vigueirat major site for the conservation of waterbirds in Europe. Nearly 300 species (more than 60 / avifauna) were identified including nine species of herons in Europe, a unique natural populations of greylag goose and a large colony of bee-eaters. The flora is also outstanding, with nearly 891 species identified, some very rare, such as salsify with small flowers, standing in the Red Book of endangered species France. Finally, mention may be made Salins d'Hyères, composed of Old Saline and Saline Pesquiers where many naturalists are organized tours.

And respect ...
Practice, but also preserve. Tools have been developed for more than ten years to educate visitors about the fragile coastal and marine environments. Following the 2nd Regional Meetings of the Sea in 2001, the region has created the sea grid. Latter brings together different types of actors (associations, management structures of the coastal area that make education the marine environment and coast, representatives of institutions, the scientific community, professional watersports and tourism) who wanted to pool their skills and resources to devote himself to the best of educational activities on the environment. The goal is to change behavior and improve the process of preserving coastal and marine environment. Various actions have been put in place to inform and educate the public with numbers of educational tools (DVD, traveling exhibits, observation kit, books, etc.) and a major campaign Ecogestes Mediterranean. Where are encouraged, for example, use vegetable soaps, to sort waste in the boats, looking for sandy areas to anchor, to use the toilet only sailors away from swimming areas at observe animals without touching or disturbing and many other common sense advice, always important to remind travelers of passage.
