OVERVIEW OF YOUR TOUR

Hello guys this is your captain Simon speaking! Today your mission, if you choose to accept it: Discover the wild soul of Provence in 8 hours

Welcome to the Wild Wild Camargue a land where white horses run free, pink flamingos take over the skies, black bulls rule the marshes, and nature still runs the show. This is raw, untamed Southern France at its finest.

Between rice fields, wild wetlands, horses, bulls, and legendary gardians on horseback, the Camargue feels like another world where time slows down… and nature wins.

So get ready, fasten your seat belt… and don’t forget a bit of mosquito repellent. Love, Simon

1 - LES SAINTES MARIES DE LA MER

Our first stop takes us to Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, the beating heart of the Camargue. A seaside village where sea breeze, tradition, and wild landscapes come together.

This is a land of legends, famous for its gypsy pilgrimages, its fortified church facing the sea, and its deep-rooted Camargue identity. Inside the church, you will discover the devotion to Saint Sara, the Black Madonna of the Gypsies, a powerful spiritual figure at the center of one of the most important pilgrimages in Europe.

Here, white horses and black bulls are part of everyday life, shaping a region that has always lived in harmony with nature and the elements.

Between narrow streets, cafés, and salty air, this stop is the perfect introduction to the Camargue spirit.

2 - PARC ORNITHOLOGIQUE DE PONT DE GAU

Next, we enter one of the most unique natural sites in France: the Parc Ornithologique de Pont de Gau.

Walk along wooden paths through lagoons and marshes where pink flamingos stand just a few meters away. This is nature in full freedom — alive, close, and unfiltered.

Birds fly above the reeds, reflections shimmer on the water, and the landscape feels almost unreal at every turn.

3 - AIGUES MORTES

Finally, we arrive in Aigues-Mortes, a perfectly preserved medieval fortress city built in the 13th century by King Louis IX.

This city was once a major departure port for the Crusades, sending armies toward the Holy Land. Today, its massive ramparts still dominate the landscape above endless pink salt marshes.

Walk through the cobblestone streets, explore small shops and cafés, and feel the weight of nearly 800 years of history in every stone.

This is also the perfect moment to enjoy lunch and free time: relax on a sunny terrace, taste local specialties, or simply enjoy the unique atmosphere of this fortified city.

For those who wish, climb the ramparts for one of the most spectacular panoramic views in Southern France — salt flats, pink lagoons, and the endless Camargue horizon.
