Boating Holidays across the canals and rivers of Europe from Le Boat

More about the Camargue

The wonderful Camargue, with its colourful traditions, small bustling Crusader ports, sandy beaches and laid-back lifestyle provides a warm welcome wherever you go. A delight for nature-lovers, this is also home to some of the richest flora and fauna in Europe, so make sure you bring your binoculars!

Watch the gardian cowboys with their tridents and black hats rounding up herds of black bulls on their traditional white horses, and join in the colourful festivals that celebrate the region’s unique culture, traditions and lifestyle.

For a change of scenery and historic sightseeing, moor up in the ancient Crusader ports and enjoy delicious seafood at harbour restaurants.

Have lazy days of fun on the region’s many blue flag beaches, cooling off in the Mediterranean before cruising on through the natural lock-free salt lakes (étangs), and enjoy spectacular views of this amazing natural wonderland, dotted with the rosy hues of pink flamingos.

"Being able to have some day-trips to the beach was great for the children."
