Former single-berth pontoon on the Petit Rhône at Fourques, Gard, Occitanie, near the junction with the Canal du Rhône à Sète, now collapsed and out of use.
Guide
Approach and anchoring
Located on the Petit Rhône just upstream of Arles, near the split between the Grand Rhône and the Petit Rhône. The pontoon has since fallen down, with the walkway and bollard collapsed and a sign forbidding mooring, so it can no longer be used; three heavy posts remain in the river with about 4 metres of water to the bank. River current runs steadily downstream. Bellegarde lock 5.3 NM to the NW gives access to the Canal du Rhône à Sète.
Practical
One berth alongside a small pontoon, no services listed. Fourques village within walking distance for basic supplies. Arles city centre roughly 4 km east for full provisioning and SNCF station.
