Travel guide Camargue
The Camargue is a land apart, with a very strong and unique identity in France. Formed by the Rhone delta, it straddles the departments of Gard and Bouches-du-Rhône. A land of white horses, celebrated by the film Crin-Blanc, and black bulls, it is watched over by herdsmen who are reminiscent of American cowboys and who gather in manades. The leaping bulls of the Camargue race are next to the "toros", heavyweights destined for the bullfight, for which the ancient arenas of Arles serve as a backdrop. Take a walk in the Camargue and you will admire a rich fauna and flora, consisting of bulls and horses, but also pink flamingos and mosquitoes, reeds and sand lilies. You will see salt marshes and rice fields, jewels of the Camargue economy. And you will discover amazing folk costumes in Arles or in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. Finally, history lovers will not be disappointed and can enjoy a visit to the ramparts of Aigues-Mortes, the place where Saint-Louis left for the Crusade.

When to go en Camargue ?
Benefiting from a mild climate (although a little hot in summer), the Camargue is a region that can be visited all year round. The high tourist season takes place between July and August, the accommodations are crowded and the prices increase then. But the Camargue also fills up during the region's major festive events: the férias of Arles (in September) and Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer (mid-July), and especially on the occasion of the gypsy pilgrimage (on May 24 and 25). The city is full, but the phenomenon is unique in France!
