The Camargue, the Rhone delta on France's Mediterranean coast, is the classic place to see greater flamingos in Europe, with thousands nesting on its lagoons every year. The Pont de Gau ornithological park has boardwalks that bring you within metres of the birds, and flamingos are visible across the wider delta year-round. Spring and summer, from April to July, are best, when the colony is breeding and the plumage is at its pinkest.
