Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer lies in the Rhône delta, on the Mediterranean coast, amid the wide-open landscapes of the Camargue. The village combines a way of life shaped by the sea with a strong Camargue identity, marked by gardian traditions, horses and vast expanses of marshland. It is a destination for beach lovers, nature watchers and anyone keen to explore a sparsely populated area.

In the village, the fortified-looking Church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Mer towers over the streets and recalls the history of the pilgrimages. The arenas host shows linked to local traditions. Pont de Gau Ornithological Park offers the chance to observe marsh birds, including pink flamingos, along its marked trails. Several sandy beaches stretch around the village, including Plage des Arènes. The Provençal market is another opportunity to discover the region's produce and flavours. A car makes it easier to explore the vast Camargue region; Nîmes-Alès-Camargue-Cévennes Airport is 30 km away.

Days can alternate between swimming, visiting the village and walking through protected landscapes. Temperatures are often milder in spring and autumn, making these seasons well suited to walking and birdwatching; summer is good for outings by the sea, though it is busier. To discover the Camargue in a different way, you can plan a horse-riding or cycling excursion, then spend half a day on the trails and at the observatories in Pont de Gau. The changing light over the marshes offers great moments for photography, particularly at the end of the day.
