Camargue is a truly special place in the South of France, where nature still reigns supreme. Located at the confluence of the Mediterranean Sea and the Rhône River, it’s the perfect destination for a peaceful yet exciting sailing adventure. Not only will you find beautiful beaches and pristine marshes, but pink flamingos, wild white horses and black bulls are also a part of everyday life. If you’re looking to stop off for a bit of exploring, the charming town of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer offers a true Provençal experience, with delicious food and friendly locals. The winds are usually pleasant and the weather is good all year round, making it an ideal choice for beginners and experienced sailors alike. Camargue is much more relaxed than the busy Riviera, so you can really switch off. If you love nature, tranquility and special experiences, you will love this place.
What to do on a boating holiday in Camargue?
Wild nature, up close
If you love nature, Camargue is guaranteed to sweep you off your feet. During the cruise, flamingos will fly around you, white horses will gallop in the distance, and black bulls will look at you curiously from the marshes. This region is still untouched, with birds chirping and natural tranquility. If you stop at a quiet bay, it is worth getting out on the water with a SUP or a small boat and exploring the area up close – it will be an unforgettable experience!
Cozy ports and coastal towns
One of the best parts of sailing is that you can dock in a cozy small town at any time. Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer is particularly exciting: full of life, music, markets and divine food. Try a plate of fresh scallops or the famous Camargue bull stew! The medieval walls and salt mountains of nearby Aigues-Mortes are also worth a detour.
Active relaxation on the water and on the beach
Camargue is not only beautiful, but also a real playground for water adventures. You can swim in secluded coves, try SUP or just sit back on the deck of a boat with a refreshing drink in hand. If you want a little more exercise, the area is ideal for kitesurfing or kayaking. On land, horseback riding and cycling routes await you, allowing you to experience the landscape from a whole new perspective.
Flavours, rhythms, traditions
Camargue is a true cultural melting pot: Provençal, Spanish and gypsy traditions are mixed, which can be felt on every corner. If you are in the right place at the right time, you can stumble upon a spectacular festival, where bull running, live music and dancing are guaranteed. The local wines, spicy food and open hosts only enhance the experience. Here you really feel that time slows down.
