Visit the Camargue: beaches, nature and picturesque towns

Visiting the Camargue is an interesting idea when you're looking for a holiday in a wild, unspoilt area. Its proximity to beaches and many picturesque towns make it a popular choice for tourists looking to get off the beaten track. 

Why visit the Camargue?

Because it's a wild region with a rich biodiversity

The Camargue is a wild region, created by the formation of the Rhône Delta. Authentic landscapes, with beaches as far as the eye can see. The Camargue is a special region in more ways than one, marking a real break with everyday life. This true delta offers a unique and rich ecosystem: its Camargue fauna and flora are luxuriant, making it an ideal vacation for nature lovers.

Of course, bulls, horses and pink flamingos come to mind. In fact, riding on a Camargue beach at sunset is no cliché. But if you're in the mood for snapshots, you'll also have the opportunity to photograph pink flamingos. Last but not least, the Camargue region has everything to surprise you when it comes to gastronomy: do you know Camargue rice or salt, or gardiane de taureaux?

For unspoilt beaches and a star holiday

Experienced travelers will be familiar with the concept of a star holiday: you set down your suitcases in one city, then head out to visit the surrounding sites of interest. If you stay at our hotel, you'll be just a few minutes away from Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. A legendary site built on land and sea, where visitors' footsteps clatter on the cobbled streets.

• Just 30 minutes away, you'll discover Arles, the city where Van Gogh stayed - and painted.
• Just an hour away is Marseille, a city of incredible contrasts.
• Provence lies to the north and east of the Rhone Delta: Avignon is just an hour and the Auberge Cavalière du Pont de Bannes, and Aix-en-Provence an hour and a half away. Citadels, chapels, aqueducts, abbeys and other monuments make Provence a top destination for lovers of hiking and history.

Which sites to visit when in the Camargue?

This list is by no means exhaustive. It would be impossible to sum up all the places to visit in just a few points: there are so many in the Camargue! Let's just say that our hotel is located in the heart of the Camargue Regional Nature Park, and that everything is an opportunity to marvel. If you're a nature lover, the Pont de Gau ornithological park is a must-see. If you love architecture and photography, you'll love Arles. Here you can see the breathtaking Tour Luma, a modern monument with a thousand facets, built by the architect of Bilbao's Guggenheim Museum.
