Camargue – winter tour (6h)

Winter is the ideal season to stroll along the paths of the ornithological park of Pont de Gau, 4 km from Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, to discover migrating winter birds and observe the nuptial parade of more than 1,800 pink flamingos.
The Camargue is a French natural region located on the Mediterranean Sea, in the departments of Bouches-du-Rhône and Gard, and formed by the Rhone delta. The city of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer is the capital of the Camargue.

This 6-hours tour in the Camargue is offered only in winter from December to March.

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).
