The Camargue, Rhône delta and living landscape

A wide plain between the Rhône and the Mediterranean

The Camargue occupies the Rhône delta, between Arles, Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, Aigues-Mortes and the Mediterranean coast. Lagoons, marshes, salt flats, rice fields and beaches create a wide open landscape shaped by water, wind and light.

The regional natural park protects part of this fragile balance. Distances may look short on a map, but roads follow dykes, canals and wetlands, so staying nearby gives you time for sunrise views, bird hides and quieter routes.

Birds, horses, bulls and traditions

The Camargue is an important stopover for migratory birds. Pink flamingos, herons, egrets, ducks and waders can be seen around the lagoons depending on season and water levels. White horses, bulls and manades are also part of everyday scenery.

Gardians, Camargue bull games, village festivals and the pilgrimage at Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer show that this is not only a natural setting, but a lived-in region with its own customs.

Beaches, salt flats and Camargue villages

The coast offers long sandy beaches, dunes and wilder spaces than many Provençal seaside resorts. Piémanson beach, near Salin-de-Giraud, gives a clear sense of this sea-facing Camargue.

Aigues-Mortes, the salt flats, Le Grau-du-Roi, Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer and the roads toward Arles make it easy to alternate heritage, swimming, nature watching, horse riding, cycling and markets.
