This region boasts salt marshes rich in biodiversity, including Camargue’s feral bulls and white horses.

The trip’s highlights include Aigues-Mortes’ medieval stronghold, Arles’ Gallo-Roman heritage and the celebrated Pont du Gard. You will often be accompanied by the fragrance of lavender as you cycle through quaint towns and esteemed wine estates. Explore picturesque French villages with their distinctive character and uncover the region’s hidden gems. At night unwind aboard a comfortable riverboat, savouring great food, wine and warm camaraderie.
