Treat yourself to a 4-hour private tour of the Camargue. Your tour begins in Aigues-Mortes, a medieval gem famous for its perfectly preserved ramparts. Founded in the 13th century by King Louis IX, this historic town immerses you in the history of the Camargue. Enjoy a guided tour followed by free time to stroll through the cobblestone streets, discover artisanal shops, and take stunning photos.

Next, head to the Tour Carbonnière, an iconic former watchtower nestled in the heart of the marshes. From its summit, admire an exceptional panoramic view of the Camargue’s typical landscapes, featuring ponds, reed beds, and unspoiled nature.
