Our hotel located in Arles is the ideal starting point to visit the Camargue. Between the Mediterranean and the Rhone delta, the Camargue is a vast wetland, with landscapes shaped by the river, the sea, the wind and the sun. In this territory with a fragile balance, human activity and nature protection are linked. The Camargue Regional Nature Park was created to ensure the sustainable development of the area. Many of these natural areas have a protected status: they are classified Natura 2000, Biosphere Reserve, Marine Reserve...
Exploring the Camargue makes it possible to understand that a large part of its landscape has in fact been shaped by man. Indeed, the territory is an ideal place for the exploitation of salt and rice, but also for fishing and agriculture. When one thinks of the Camargue, one immediately thinks of the Camargue horses and bulls. But many other species have taken up residence in this vast natural area. This is the case for birds, including the emblematic bird of the Camargue, the pink flamingo.
Visits to museums or natural areas, walks, bike rides or horseback riding between the sea and the ponds, tourist routes or resting on the beaches... it's up to you to compose your visit, always keeping in mind that the preservation of the beauty of the Camargue is also yours.
