Description:

Discover the special atmosphere of the Camargue—a paradise for migratory birds, flamingoes, bulls, and white horses—on this full-day tour. Visit a rice museum and a ranch, see the wildlife that thrives in the country, explore the city of Aigues-Mortes, and have a wine tasting at a winery.

Bordered by the Mediterranean Sea and the Rhône river delta, the Camargue is covered with rice groves, plains, rivers, and salt marshes. As you ride through the countryside, keep an eye out for the wild horses, bulls, birds, and pink flamingos that make the area their home.

Start your tour of this wild and poetic land with a visit to the Rice Museum, which shows the long history of rice production in the Camargue. Next, the tour takes you to a winery where you can try some of the local wine, and then a traditional ranch where bulls and white horses are trained.

From there, you can purchase an optional boat tour or a horse and carriage through the plains, giving you a chance to marvel at the spectacular scenery of wild white horses running free in the land surrounded by pink flamingos and rare birds.

Explore the charming city of Aigues-Mortes, whose center is enclosed within spectacular medieval ramparts. Stroll through the old streets, admire quaint buildings, and hear about the fascinating history of this former Crusader fortress from your knowledgeable guide.
