4 tips for an aperitif in the Camargue countryside

In spring, as temperatures rise and the days lengthen, it's time to enjoy an aperitif outside. In the Camargue, from April-May onwards, temperatures are already pleasant enough for an early evening drink in the great outdoors. Discover our tips for a successful outdoor aperitif.

Slow down and take time for an aperitif

During your vacation in the Camargue, take the time to relax and recharge your batteries. In the Camargue, we live late, Spanish-style: the days are long and the aperitif is often dinner, stretching into the sunset.

Enjoy this time with friends, family or as a couple, in the midst of unspoilt nature. Taking this time will enable you to better enjoy the natural wonders that the Camargue has to offer.

Immerse yourself in nature

The Camargue Regional Nature Park is an area where human activity blends perfectly with nature conservation. This 170,000-hectare park includes 72 km of coastline. This represents 25% of the French Mediterranean sandy coastline. 

The Camargue is a veritable mosaic, with 41% natural wetlands, 25% agricultural and 17% natural water environments. These diverse ecosystems support a rich biodiversity of both flora and fauna.

During your stay in the Camargue, take advantage of the magnificent natural landscapes offered by this unspoilt park to enjoy an aperitif in total immersion in nature.

A natural, relaxed atmosphere

For a natural aperitif in the Camargue, opt for a relaxed atmosphere: a paella and tapas evening or a gypsy aperitif, for example. Our Camargue wines deserve to be known, so don't forget them!

For a more comfortable aperitif in the heart of nature, the Auberge du Pont des Bannes restaurant welcomes you almost all year round. In spring, take advantage of the restaurant's shaded terrace to enjoy a glass of wine or a cocktail in a magnificent setting in the heart of the Camargue. 

After spending the day visiting the Camargue and its natural spaces, or after sporting activities such as kayaking, canoeing or mountain biking, take the time to relax and enjoy the delicious dishes on the menu.

And if you're looking for something more original and unusual, book your horse-drawn carriage ride, during which an aperitif is served. The aperitif is served on board, while you enjoy the authentic scenery as it slowly unfolds before your eyes. Perfect for unusual conversations!

And if you'd rather enjoy an aperitif on a Camargue beach...

The Camargue is the perfect region for water-based activities such as kayaking, canoeing or boat trips, but also for other types of activity such as horse riding or visits to manades, the traditional breeding grounds for Camargue horses and bulls.

A beach aperitif is an excellent way to enjoy the enchanting setting of this region between land and sea. Admire the sunset from one of the white sandy beaches of Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, less than 2 km from the Auberge!

The Camargue is a region brimming with places to relax and discover. During your vacation, take the time to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings of this magnificent region of France with a drink in hand!
