Tours Camargue

One sightseeing tour that you may do is the Camargue, this immense alluvial plain, born and fashioned from the combined actions of the Rhone River, the Mediterranean Sea and the Mistral, has a surprisingly rich flora and fauna.
The Rhone delta landscape is unique in France. The Camargue Nature Park was created in 1970 but nature has been conserved there since 1928, the date the National Reserve was created.

Rice farming has redrawn the Camargue landscape and contributes to the delta’s ecological balance, for it provides the fresh water so necessary to this fragile eco-system. The appellation Camargue Rice is a tribute to this local product’s originality.

During your private tour you will see the symbol of the area : pink flamingos, horses and bulls are symbolic of the area.

You can also observe a number of migrating birds found in this wetland, rich in alluviums, the ideal place for a stopover in spring and autumn. Bird lovers can watch them from the Vigueirat Marsh in a nature ramble.

We will go to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, a centre of pilgrimage and Provençal traditions, the village situated between sky and sea with its 9th century fortress church and a museum dedicated to Camargue’s traditions.
