The Camargue Region:
The Camargue is a national park, and home to the famous white horses of the area, black bulls and flamingos. There is a stunning variety of wildlife to see. Trekking, water cruises and safaris are available to take advantage of the park and see the wildlife within it. The beaches in the area are unspoilt and stretch for kilometres with no development, and pristine forest behind the dunes. There are a number of beautiful villages and marinas to visit, and some of the finest seafood in France available from the nearby lagoons, famous for oysters and mussels.
Languedoc is the province that covers medieval l’Occitanne. Discover for yourself what makes l’Occitanne special and unspoilt. Rousillon is French catalan, which has left traces of the Sardana, bullfights and paella.
Recommended tours include Pont du Gard, Arles, St Marie de la Mer and the wonderfully vibrant University towns of Nimes and Montpellier with their exquisite shopping and boulevards
