Departure from Uzès (or 10 km around):

From Uzès, it takes some time to drive to the wildest part of the Camargue, especially on our “slow tourism” tour!

If you are interested in the local bull fighting traditions (the bulls are neither hurt nor killed, unlike the Spanish tradition). It is a typical farm where bulls and the white Camargue horses are bred.

Meet the “gardians”, our French cowboys. We make a stop at a “manade”, taste local specialties and visit the estate aboard a horse-driven carriage, up to the fields where the bulls graze.

Then we make our way to the wetlands called “Scamandre” to explore wildlife and vegetation. You will need a good pair of shoes, binoculars and a camera; we will take our time to watch the animals.

The tour includes a stop in Aigues-Mortes, a fortified town with abounding history. On our way back to Uzès, we stop at the “tour Carbonnière” and a charming little village.

The price does not include

•  the manade (on estimate)
• The Salins du Midi (10€/pers.)
• The Tour de Constance (8,50€/pers.)
• The Scamandre center is free.

You have two choies of meal:

•  a picnic lunch with local specialities and drinks at 15€ per person
• a table in a restaurant between 20 and 30€ per person, plus the guide-driver’s meal (at 20€).

Please let me know your preference when booking your tour.

Any additional hour is charged at 40€

Equipment required

Difficulty

My tours are linked to the cycle of the seasons and the meetings with the producers and craftsmen are according to the availability of my partners.

Accessibility

My tours are accessible to all: children, adults, seniors and people with handicapes*.

I don’t have seat belts in the back of my cars (vintage cars) so if you need a seat belt attachment or other hardware, it will be difficult. Let me know what you need.

*Please use my contact form to send me your needs and expectations. The wheelchair equipment does not fit in a 2CV, but the alternative is possible – with the Estafette (minivan).
