Visiting Camargue
Aix-en-Provence, is a municipality of culture and history, thanks to its places and monuments, its shows and folklores, or its gastronomy. It is also an ideal tourist destination thanks to its location near several beaches and abundant leisure opportunities. You can spend a seaside holiday, wade into the sea and take advantage of water activities or visit the many amusement parks.
For those who wish to see another aspect of the town, a small tour in Camargue is required. The natural and wild side of this part makes of this place quite exceptional. The departure will take place in the center of Aix-en-Provence to go to the west, taking the streets of the Roman city of Arles to finish in the Camargue. Your little getaway will last for half a day, allowing you to make the most of the beauty of the wild swamp area on the way. Officially called the Camargue Regional Nature Park, the entire site is protected, allowing several species of flora and fauna to develop freely. You can, for example, cross wild horses galloping on green pastures freely, but also black bulls.
You will also pass through the sleepy capital of Camargue, offering a Mediterranean atmosphere, with whitened houses adorning the streets and the sweet smell of paella cooked in the air. Your guide will tell you the history of the monuments that you will meet on the way, such as the medieval church of the city.
This tour is offered with two additional activities, to be paid extra. So you can choose between a horse ride in the Camargue Regional Nature Park (several levels available) and stroll with your loved one or make a visit to the ornithological park Pont de Gau to see the flamingos with your children.
Also, do not forget to bring a swimsuit, because once your special morning guided tour is over, you'll want to wade into the sea and bronze a little bit.
