Holidays in Camargue

Just a few steps from the Mediterranean you can enter your riverboat and discover Canal du Rhône à Sète and the Camargue region's channels, a journey through some of nature's great saltmarshes with flocks of pink flamingos. The lake Etang de Thau is a haven for birds and the renowned oysterbeds at Bouzigues. If you are lucky you will see the local guardian cowboysdrive herds of wild white horses and hordes of jet-black bulls together.

Mediterranean beaches are always close by at Palavas, Carnon and La Grande Motte. Discover Sète and Le Grau-du-Roi with colour-radiating fishing nets and boats, and lively restaurants, a perfect stop for a delicious meal of freshly caught seafood accompanied by golden Costières de Nîmes wines as the sun goes down.

Cruising advice

Sail from 4 bases, return or one-way if possible, combine with Midi on longer trips.
The mild climate of the Camargue-region makes it an obvious choice for a boating holiday, also early or late in the season.
There are only two locks which makes the region perfect for those who have not tried this kind of holiday before.
