Located between the Rhône River and the Mediterranean Sea, this stunning region is famous for its wild white horses, pink flamingos, rice fields, salt marshes, and cowboy culture. Whether you're a nature lover, a photographer, or simply curious about authentic Provence, the Camargue is a must-see. For a stress-free way to get there, choose Marseille Airport Transfer Service.

1. Explore the Parc Naturel Régional de Camargue

This regional park is the heart of the Camargue and a paradise for birdwatchers, hikers, and photographers. It’s one of Europe’s most important wetlands and home to over 400 species of birds, including the iconic pink flamingo. Don’t forget your binoculars and your camera.

2. Visit the Town of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer

This seaside town is the cultural capital of the Camargue. It’s famous for its, whitewashed houses, lively atmosphere, and beautiful beaches. Visit the fortified church, enjoy fresh seafood by the port, or take a horseback ride along the coast.

3. Take a 4x4 or Horseback Safari

Explore the wild landscapes of the Camargue by horseback or 4x4 jeep. Several local ranches (manades) offer guided tours through the marshes, where you can spot wild horses, bulls, herons, and flamingos in their natural habitat.

4. Discover the Salt Pans of Salin-de-Giraud

The salins (salt flats) are another iconic landscape of the Camargue. The pink hues of the salt water during summer months are breathtaking, especially at sunrise or sunset. Some areas can be visited with a guide or on electric bikes.

5. Enjoy a Boat Ride Along the Rhône River

Take a traditional boat tour along the Petit Rhône and discover the unique fauna and flora of the region. It’s a relaxing way to explore the Camargue from a different perspective.

6. Sample Local Products and Cuisine

Try bull meat (taureau AOP), Camargue rice, and local wines. Many farm shops and markets in the region sell honey, salt, and handmade soaps. Don’t miss the chance to enjoy an authentic Provençal meal in a country inn or seaside restaurant.

7. Visit Aigues-Mortes and Its Medieval Walls

On the edge of the Camargue lies the walled town of Aigues-Mortes, built in the 13th century by Louis IX as a port for the Crusades. Walk along its medieval ramparts and enjoy the local boutiques, cafés, and views over the salt marshes.

8. Relax on the Wild Beaches

The Camargue coastline is dotted with untouched beaches like Plage de Beauduc and Plage de Piémanson. These wide, sandy stretches are perfect for a peaceful escape, far from the crowds, surrounded by dunes and sea breezes.
