Here are seven must-do's to make the most of this exceptional region.
The Camargue is famous for its nature reserve, which is home to an incredibly diverse range of animal and plant species. Discover
this unique ecosystem along the hiking trails or on a guided boat tour. You will be able to spot pink flamingos, free-roaming bulls and
horses, as well as many other fascinating species.
The Camargue is world famous for its wild horses, the great “Chevaux de Camargue”. Get the most out of your stay by going for a horse ride to discover the breathtaking landscapes of the region. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced rider, there are excursions to suit all levels, led by professional guides.
The Aigues-Mortes salt marshes are another Camargue treasure. These vast expanses of salt marshes offer a breathtaking sight, with their hues of pink, white and blue. Take a guided tour to learn more about salt production and the history of this traditional activity in the region.
The Camargue is rich in tradition and culture. Throw yourself into the excitement of a Camargue race, a traditional event where the gardians (bull herders) compete against the bulls in an arena.

de taureau
