Boat trip - Camargue - Houseboat Camargue
About this experience
Your visit stands out for an entirely private and immersive experience, far from the classic tourist circuits. You sail in small groups (2 to 8 people maximum) on board a comfortable boat, with a dedicated skipper who shares his authentic knowledge of the Camargue. Check-out from Saint-Gilles, at the gates of the Camargue and Provence, allows direct access to wild and preserved landscapes (bulls, reed beds, birds), often inaccessible otherwise. In addition, customizable services (Aperitif, Breakfast or Meal) are available on request, for an intimate, flexible and memorable experience.
What to expect
Stop 1
⛵ Embark from the port of Saint-Gilles for a guided boat ride to discover the Petite Camargue. Your Guide, passionate about nature and traditions, will accompany you along the way by sharing anecdotes and explanations about fauna, flora and local culture. Sailing towards Gallician, we will pass at the back of the Centre of Scamandre, a real sanctuary for birds. It’s an opportunity to admire emblematic Camargue species such as flamingos, herons or egrets, while getting to know them better thanks to the Guide’s comments. Along the way, you may be lucky enough to see horses on the loose, in the marshes, a strong symbol of this unspoilt region. ✨ On the way back, the highlight of the show: we approach only a few meters from a field of Camargue bulls. The Guide will explain their role in the bullfighting traditions and cultural identity of the Camargue.
