The Camargue, located in the Rhône delta, spans an area of 1,450 km². This vast territory, made up of marshes and ponds, offers an exceptional natural setting.
The Camargue is a sanctuary for remarkable wildlife and flora. It is home to a great diversity of species, including migratory birds that stop there during their journeys. Among them, the iconic pink flamingos gracefully roam the ponds.
The Camargue is also distinguished by its deeply rooted culture. The "gardians," emblematic figures of the region, raise Camargue bulls and horses. This land is also the cradle of bullfighting, with major events such as the ferias of Nîmes and Arles.
Each year, on May 24th and 25th, the Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer hosts the Gypsy pilgrimage, a spiritual and festive event that attracts tens of thousands of participants.
At the heart of the Camargue, Aigues-Mortes is a preserved medieval town surrounded by majestic ramparts. It stands as a unique testimony to the region's history.
The Camargue is also famous for its coastal landscapes. The Salins-de-Giraud, bathed in sun, wind, and sea, are a major hub for salt production. For relaxation seekers, the sandy beaches of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, Grau-du-Roi, or Grande-Motte provide idyllic spaces for swimming and enjoying the coastline.
