Hotel Lou Marquès

Most rooms at Hotel Lou Marquès accommodate two people, while the quadruple room can host up to four guests. All are air-conditioned and have a private bathroom with a shower. Depending on the room, features include a TV, city views and amenities such as a hairdryer or safe. Bed configurations include a double bed, a large double bed or two single beds.

The listed room categories range from 13 to 22 m². The Double Room with Terrace adds a private outdoor space with a balcony and terrace. The quadruple room is larger than the rooms for two and is on the ground floor, with two single beds and a large double bed. Some rooms are accessible only by stairs. The categories therefore differ in capacity, floor area, bed configuration and whether they have a private outdoor space.

Room service is also available. Free public parking is nearby, with on-street parking spaces and facilities for guests with reduced mobility.

Activities for discovering the area include tours about local culture, walking and cycling tours, horse riding, cycling, hiking, canoeing and fishing. Express check-in and check-out complete the hotel’s services.

Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer lies on the Camargue coast, amid a landscape of lagoons, ponds and wide-open spaces. This seaside town combines Provençal village life with a beachside setting: visitors come for the beaches, waterside walks and birdwatching. Its proximity to the centre and the shore makes it easy to alternate between exploring on foot and visiting the surrounding natural areas.

The Church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Mer overlooks the village and is a major landmark of its heritage. The Musée des Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer showcases local history and traditions, while the bullring hosts events related to Camargue culture. Plage des Arènes and other stretches of sand line the coast. A few kilometres away, Pont de Gau Ornithological Park has marked paths for birdwatching, particularly flamingos. Arles, with its Roman monuments and historic centre, is around a 30-minute drive away. Nîmes-Alès-Camargue-Cévennes Airport is 32 km away.

Spring and autumn are suitable for walks in the marshes and visits to the ornithological park, with temperatures generally milder than in the height of summer. The summer season brings more visitors to the beaches; setting out early lets you enjoy the coast before the busiest hours. A day can start with a walk around the village, continue with a break by the sea and end with an outing among the landscapes of the Camargue. The wind can be strong along this coast, especially on exposed days.
