The Languedoc-Roussillon / Gard region
The Camargue Regional Park One of the many Unesco world heritage sites in Provence, the Camargue is a huge area (about 350,000 acres) of wetlands, pastures and salt flats formed by the delta of the Rhône river. The region has a unique ecological balance and is home to many pink flamingoes. In the grassy pastures you will find sheep and small white horses grazing, these are ridden in the area by "gardians" a traditional part of the local community. For more information visit the official website (french only) of the Parc Naturel Régional de Camargue.
This region boasts sunshine 280 to 300 days of the year and is famously known as the Camargue with the white horses ,black bulls and cowboys. Steeped in history with Roman amphitheatres at Nimes and Arles and Pont Du Gard aquaduct are all well worth visiting. Further still are the Ardeche Gorges.Most towns have bullrings famous for bull fights(bulls don't get hurt) and running of the bulls through the towns at festive events is a regular occurence.
Boat rides down the canal to see the local wildlife including bulls,flamingoes and the Camargue horses. Visit the national park etanges to witness local wildlife.
Location: Situated by Port-Camargue facing La Grande-Motte, to the east of Montpellier is Grau du Roi.
A pleasant sea side resort with good sand and safe clean water. The resort faces the more modern La Grande-Motte across the Golfe d’Aigues-Mortes and the beaches are usually reasonably quiet.
Our recommendations: We would suggest that you leave the beach mid afternoon and drive inland for a walk around the walls at Aigues-Mortes followed by dinner in one of the open air restaurants there.
For the children: Visit the Seaquarium between Le Grau-du-Roi and Port-Camargue. Children's fun fair and swim park also at Groi Du Roi.(10 minute drive or 25 minute cycle ride
Adult fun fair in season from 20.30pm at Groi du Roi.

The Aigues Mortes / Port Du Roy area
Aigues Mortes was built in the 13 century by King Louis and prospered as a coastal trading port for many years. One of it's main exports was and still is salt and the factory just outside the town is well worth a visit. Located next door to the factory is the Listel Vineyard.
Salt Train near Aigues Mortes
To the east of the D979 between Aigues-Mortes and Le Grau du Roi. It is clearly signposted to ‘Salins’ and ‘Listel’. Tel No:- 0(4) 66 73 40 24. Website: www.labaleine.com.
As a guideline costs are approximately €7 for adults and €5 for children aged 4-13.
Tours of the salt pans and a part of the Camargue. There are 2 short tours available by either bus (1½ hours) or a land train (1¼ hours) or alternatively a longer tour lasting 2¼ hours. These all include a tour of the salt pans, the salt museum, a video and a visit to the shop, with the longer bus tour offering further insight into the flora and fauna of the Camargue.
There are set times for the tours – 5 a day for the shorter tours (2 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon). The ‘petit-train’ is the more popular option and gets booked up first so early booking is recommended. Either turn up early or if in the area pop in and pre-book for later in the day. The shorter tours are best to keep the children's attention and the train definitely wins hands down over the bus, which could get very hot.
Aigues Mortes
This is a splendid walled town on the edge of salt marshes in the Camargue. You can make a complete circular walk of over 1.5km around the town walls (open 9.30 - 7PM in the summer). We recommend that you allow at least 1 hour for the walk, after which you should not miss the chance to browse in the tourist shops in the narrow streets of the old town. Also you should plan to have a snack or a meal in one of the many restaurants in the Place St-Louis (see right) – this is not haut cuisine but the environment is outstanding and the chances are that one of the local entertainers will pass by while you are eating.
For a lovely day out you can start at the nearby beach at Le Grau-du-Roi, then mid afternoon move to Aigues-Mortes for a tour of the town walls and some shopping, finishing off the day with an evening in one of the many street cafés.
Exclusive : The most comprehensive and various cruise on the canal, commented by a local man.
Crossing of the port along the city wall, close to the salt company “Les Salins du Midi", discover the fishing harbour of Le Grau du Roi and the flora and fauna of Camargue through the locks of the Vidourle River, the big reed bed, the Tour Carbonnière, the Bourgidou Canal and its locks in the middle of ancient barges.

Very nice house with great amenities, right on the water. A car is useful, but you can also get around on the bikes provided. Aigues Mortes is a lovely little town, and Montpellier is also not to be... more Response: Thank you so much for taking the time to make a comment about Kyrenia. It is appreciated Kind Regards MALCOLM |

Arriving at Kyrenia villa in January after leaving a cold and wet Burgundy for the 5 hour drive to Aigues-Mortes I was amazed at the marina complex as when I lived there 14 years ago the marina was still at the planning stage for what was then camargue wildland. Thankfully I had Debbie to meet me and lead me to the villa, which I found very tastefully yet comfortably decorated. after unpacking the car I sat peacefully outside on the marina deck with a well deserved glass of chilled white wine and watched the beautiful camargue sunset turn the waters of the marina from yellow, to orange to red! I thoroughly enjoyed my 6 weeks there, feeding the ducks who adopted me for my homemade bread and strolling into the village to enjoy the great choice of cafes and restaurants which are still open in winter - availing myself of of the WiFi facilities at the same time. Even when the temperatures reached an unprecedented -6 degrees C the villa was warm and comfortable without the need of supplementary heating. Well equipped with books, DVD's, and of course satelite TV to keep up with my favourite soaps!! I made use of the bicycles available to shop at Lidl (even though it is less than 5 mins by foot!) And as always enjoyed my strolls through the tree-lined markets on Wednesday and Sunday mornings - certainly a meeting place for all the village. Visit the Bar LePerroquet for their Rock Blues concerts and Flamenco evenings, amazing ambiance and cocktails - and the Tac Tac Bar for the widest range of whiskies ever seen in one place - plus Marc's great hospitality. La Vice Versa restaurant a must for incredible food at great prices. Chez Coco for great pizzas, toro and chips and succulent lamb roasts on sundays. I enjoyed it so much I have booked again for December/January/February and can't wait to return!!! Many thanks Freddie Tickell - stay January/February 2012 |
