What to do when camping in the Camargue?

In the Camargue, there is no shortage of activities and places to visit. Start your tour with a visit to the Domaine de Méjanes on the shores of the Etang de Vaccarès. Take the miniature train for a journey through one of the last natural refuges. A land of wide open spaces where horses and bulls roam free. Visit the different salt marshes and explore the Camargue at the wheel of a 4x4, by bicycle or on horseback. Watch and admire a multitude of birds, including hundreds of flamingos, in their natural habitat at the Pont de Gau Ornithological Park.

 

Continue your tour with a stroll along the various fine sandy beaches, then set off to discover the medieval town of Aigues-Mortes and its magnificent ramparts. Feeling hungry? Stop off at one of the town's bakeries to sample the traditional Aigues-Mortes sweet fougasse flavoured with orange blossom. Then immerse yourself in the culture of the Camargue and visit a "manade". There, you will be able to discover the fascinating work of a Camargue bull and horse breeder in a mythical and unspoilt setting.

 

The Camargue also boasts an extremely varied gastronomic culture. Take advantage of your camping holiday to discover the local produce and the local gastronomy of this beautiful region. Invite your taste buds to savour a range of flavours from the land and the sea. Food lovers are in for a real treat!

 

Enjoy delicious dishes prepared with local produce, such as potatoes, asparagus and sand carrots, seafood from Le Grau-du-Roi fish market and conventional Camargue white rice, as well as red and black rice. Savour a succulent gardiane, a typical dish from the region made with bull meat. Sprinkle it all with a little Camargue salt to offer your taste buds something completely different. Of course, you can't finish your meal without tasting the Camargue sand wines with their light and fruity notes.

 

Continue your journey with a visit to the magnificent Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, a refuge for Gypsies, where you will be able to discover the colourful folklore behind the history of the town. You won't be able to miss the Church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Mer which dominates the town.
