A day to remember - We had a wonderful day learning about the Camargue. Our guide, David was very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed seeing the wildlife, flamingos, bulls, horses and even a coypu. And it was also a nice mix visiting the villages, lighthouse and tower.

Excellent for anyone wanting to get to know the beautiful area of the Camargue. - We had a wonderful day exploring the Camargue with David. The area is beautiful and we saw lots of wildlife including the flamingos, famous white horses, bulls , herons and a coypu! We loved the boardwalks that allow you to get really close to the birds in the wetlands. We also enjoyed Aigues Mortes and the lighthouse and tower which gave excellent views. David was a knowledgeable guide and the day was varied . Would recommend.
