What to do on a romantic and unusual holiday in the Camargue?

Sleep in unusual and original accommodation

Unusual holidays mean unusual accommodation. And there's nothing better than a gardian's hut, a typical Camargue habitat. To discover this emblematic accommodation, visit our 4-star hotel, the Auberge Cavalière du Pont des Bannes, located in Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. Here, the gardian's huts have been built in the traditional manner, with whitewashed walls and reed roofs. Despite this apparent rusticity, our cottages feature top-of-the-range amenities and modern, uncluttered decor.

In our hotel, you'll find services and activities that are very popular with couples: swimming pools, semi-gastronomic restaurant, private wellness area, horse and carriage rides, tennis court. Everything you need for an enchanting, romantic and unusual weekend.

Unusual romantic weekend in the Camargue: don't forget the activities

Here's a sample program for a romantic weekend in the Camargue. On the first day, head for Les-Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer for a short visit. It's a charming traditional village with cobbled streets, a famous market, gardian huts and wild beaches.

In the afternoon, explore the Pont de Gau ornithological park to observe our magnificent birds in complete freedom. In the evening, enjoy a sunset horseback ride along the beach in the company of one of our riders.

For the 2nd day of your weekend, we recommend spending half a day enjoying the hotel's wellness area and swimming pools. For the rest of the day, you can enjoy a horse-drawn carriage ride, a visit to a manade or a boat trip.

• The "VIP Sunset" tour, a 2.5-hour stroll to watch the sun set over the beach - photo breaks are provided.
• VIP horse-drawn carriage ride, 2-hour ride with tray of savoury treats and bottle of wine
