The programme

On the coach, the endless views of the countryside will give you a taste of southern France. From this point, you'll have all the time you want to get to know the flora, fauna and traditions of the Camargue.
Half of the area is a nature reserve surrounding the Rhone River, and here you can explore its marshes, ponds and reed beds at the Pont de Gau Ornithological Park: a UNESCO world heritage site which hosts and protects more than 200 bird species.
A local guide will introduce you to their habits: herons and egrets make their nests among the trees, whereas gulls prefer the islands, but the real stars are the pink flamingos, masters of the courtship dance.
Then you'll head to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, a fishing village of whitewashed houses, where every spring since 1885, Romani people from all over the world have come together to celebrate Saint Sarah, their patron saint.
It is said that Mary Magdalene also passed through here: you'll find out for yourself as you step into the 9th century fortified Roman church, before strolling through the narrow streets, among typical restaurants and artisan boutiques that feel like they're from another era.
