Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer lies in the Rhône delta, amid the open landscapes of the Camargue. The town combines a Mediterranean village, marshes, lagoons and long beaches; it attracts nature lovers as well as travellers looking to enjoy the coast. Here, walks take you between wetlands, farmland and the sea, through a landscape where birdwatching and Camargue traditions play an important part.

The Parc Ornithologique de Pont de Gau, 2.1 km away, has marked trails where you can watch marsh birds, including flamingos. The Musée des Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer explores local history and regional traditions. The beaches in the area, including Plage du Clos du Rhône, 2.5 km away, are ideal for swimming and walks along the coast. In the village, the Notre-Dame-de-la-Mer church and the bullring bear witness to the region’s bullfighting traditions and local festivals. Nîmes-Alès-Camargue-Cévennes Airport and Montpellier Méditerranée Airport are 30 km and 35 km away, respectively.

Spring and the shoulder season are pleasant times to explore the marshes on foot or by bike, when temperatures are milder. In summer, the days are well suited to outings along the coast and water sports, though visitor numbers are higher. Set aside time to visit the bird park, then stroll through the village and end the day by the sea. A car makes it easier to travel between the beaches, natural sites and scattered villages of the Camargue.
