Spend New Year's Eve in the Camargue: an original idea for the end of the year

It's that time of year again! You know, the one when the days get shorter, the weather gets colder, and the trees take their clothes off! Good news, it's also the holiday season, which has officially begun! As you start planning this celebration, have you considered spending New Year's Eve in the Camargue? You really should. As if this region of France wasn't magnificent enough, it offers some very interesting activities during the festive season. From New Year's Eve concerts and fireworks displays to more casual events like horseback rides through lavender fields or candlelit dinners in the evening, you certainly won't run out of things to do!

Before spending New Year's Eve, take a stroll on the beach at Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer

Les Saintes-Maries is a small town in the Bouches du Rhône region of France. The capital of the Camargue region, whose presence dates back to antiquity, its medieval streets are steeped in history. On December 31, when you're celebrating New Year's Eve in the Camargue, you can stroll through the town to admire its fortified church and colorfully decorated facades.

Before you head to the beach, where you can fall in love with the panorama: between the seafront and the Etang des Launes are some thirty gardian huts. The old port is also a great spot for New Year's Eve parties and concerts!

Spend New Year's Eve in an authentic gardian's hut

The gardians are the herdsmen of the Camargue bulls. Their huts are small, round shelters built from plant materials. Now you can rent these huts during the winter months and spend New Year's Eve with family and friends! Step back in time by booking one of these huts renovated by architects Hauvette & Madani in our hotel Les Bains Gardians.

A gastronomic and musical experience

Enjoy a dinner that combines originality with gastronomic classics: scallops, foie gras, turbot... all set to a saxophone and DJ set.

And if the weather cooperates, what better way to end 2021 than with a fireworks display on the edge of the picturesque Camargue marshes?...

Start your New Year in the Camargue with a brunch to the sound of a Flamenco concert

Flamenco is a traditional music and dance that originated in Andalusia, but is intimately linked to the culture of the Camargue, where bulls and horses are bred. According to legend, it originated with singing and dancing gypsies, driven from their village by an evil lord. They were helped by Saint Sara, on condition that they promise to sing and play the guitar for all eternity... Our shows aren't just for parties, and you can get a taste of eternity with our typically festive New Year's brunch!
