The village of Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, capital of the Camargue, is a legendary site built between sea and sky, a pilgrimage site and home to gypsies. Built near the mouth of the Petit Rhône, its church is a veritable fortress dominating the village. To learn a little more about Camargue culture, why not take a tour of the Maison du Riz, which traces the evolution of rice-growing in the Camargue in an authentic farmhouse, or the Musée de la Camargue, which immerses visitors in the history of the Camargue, past and present. Our 4-star hotel is located at the crossroads of several towns with remarkable histories, which reveal themselves through their museums, monuments, cultural events and unique heritage:

• Arles is a city of art and history and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its rich ancient heritage can be discovered as you wander through its narrow streets: the arena (amphitheatre), the ancient theater, the Cryptoportiques, the Thermes de Constantin, the Saint-Trophime cloister... It is also home to numerous museums that reflect the diversity of Arles: Musée départemental Arles Antique, Museon Arlaten (Provencal tradition), Musée Réattu/Donation Picasso (contemporary art and photography)...

• The city of Nîmes has preserved the traces of 26 centuries of history through its fabulous monuments: the arena, the Maison carrée, the Jardins de la Fontaine, the Temple de Diane, the Tour Magne... Nîmes' cultural heritage has given rise to several exceptional museums: Musée du Vieux Nîmes, Carré d'Art Jean Bousquet, Musée des cultures taurines, Musée Archéologique...

• Avignon, the capital of Christianity in the Middle Ages, has preserved the imprint of this grandiose destiny with world-famous buildings such as the Palais des Papes and the Pont Saint-Bénezet. The city of the Popes has a surprisingly diverse and beautiful heritage, with its ramparts, mansions, gardens and churches. The city's museums offer a variety of collections to suit every taste: the Musée Lapidaire (prehistory), the Musée du Petit Palais (Middle Ages), the Musée Calvet (Fine Arts)...
