The Camargue, fertile land for fauna and flora, fertile also for the collective imagination.
The postcard images that come to mind are (fortunately) not clichés: majestic flamingos in mid-flight, white horses thrown at a gallop, guards watching over their herds of bulls, whether they are destined for combat or the Camargue race.
Here men must master nature, to produce rice, salt, wine... They must adapt to a changing environment, according to the whims of the Rhône in particular. This river is part of Arles' DNA. It was its commercial potential that aroused Julius Caesar's interest!
To visit and experience the Camargue, book a cruise on the Grand Rhône, discover the gardian's tricks in a manade or walk the hiking trails, by bike, on foot, in 4x4... or even follow a sound trail to discover the territory ... And if the path is a little too long, there is always a good spot for a picnic.
The sea is near... Relax on the sandy beaches of Piémanson and Beauduc or try kitesurfing; In the village of Salin de Giraud, discover a former industrial city, land of salt workers...
