Camargue Smågruppedagstur fra Avignon
Beskrivelse
Vælg denne heldagstur for at have masser af tid til at opdage de forskellige ansigter i en af de mest fascinerende regioner i Frankrig. Camargue er et af de bredeste floddeltaer i Europa, og det tager tid at udforske det! Denne tur giver dig mulighed for at observere ikoniske dyr samt opdage lokale legender, traditioner og historiske monumenter. Din guide stopper langs vejen for at give dig muligheder for at fotografere Camargue-heste og tyre. Vi inkluderer entréen til Fugleparken, det bedste sted i regionen at se lyserøde flamingoer fra tæt på. Saintes Maries de la Mer og Aigues Mortes er livlige små byer med århundredgamle monumenter, rig gastronomi og dejlige butikker. Denne tur er en rigtig fordøjelse af Camargue!

Rejseplan
Efter en 1-times kørsel gennem rismarker og brakvandsdamme, hvor din rejseguide vil introducere dig til Camargues ejendommeligheder, bliver du sat af i den smukke fuglepark i Pont de Gau (adgangsbillet inkluderet). Fugleparken blev skabt af en familie af naturelskere i 1949 og ligger i hjertet af den regionale naturpark Camargue, som vi kalder Rhône-flodens delta. Der er ikke noget bedre sted at observere den ikoniske fugl i regionen. En let gåtur langs moser og damme, efter en velskiltet gangsti, vil give dig mulighed for at komme helt tæt på lyserøde flamingoer, der bor her med hundredvis af andre fuglearter.
Camargue er også et land med traditioner og historie. Mød din chauffør igen og tag til den charmerende kystby Saintes Maries de la Mer. Oplev legenden, der førte til opførelsen af den imponerende befæstede kirke Vor Frue fra havet, kendt i Frankrig for de fejringer, den afholder for hver Marias fest, i maj og oktober. Festen, der afholdes i maj, trækker et stort antal roma-katolikker til byen i en uge. De kommer her for at tilbede relikvier af Sarah, deres skytshelgen. Gå ikke glip af et besøg i kirkens interiør, der går tilbage til begyndelsen af det 11. århundrede, og nyd en panoramaudsigt fra vagtvagten på taget (4€/voksen). Tag bagefter til stranden, hvor du kan gå en afslappende gåtur langs promenaden, hvor reproduktioner af Van Goghs malerier er udstillet, eller tage en svømmetur i Middelhavet. Glem ikke at smage nogle lokale specialiteter, såsom fisk og skaldyr, tyrekød og ris (frokost ikke inkluderet).
Efter frokost møder du din guide igen og fortsætter rejsen gennem vilde landskaber og maleriske gårde, ranches og strandenge. Din rejseguide stopper undervejs for at observere og fotografere Camargue-heste og tyre. Disse dyr er et grundlæggende element i regionens kultur, hvor det ikke er usædvanligt at støde på et tyrevæddeløb eller en folklore-begivenhed, der involverer heste.
Inden du vender tilbage til Avignon, kan du opdage Aigues Mortes, et af højdepunkterne i regionen, en vidunderligt bevaret bymur med mure, der dateres tilbage i det 13. århundrede. Aigues Mortes, som blev finansieret af kong Ludvig IX i 1240 som udgangspunkt for korstogene, kommer ud fra ingenting blandt saltpander og rismarker. Dens massive vold beskytter smalle asfalterede gader og små pladser, hvor du kan shoppe og smage lækre lokale desserter. Du kan også vælge en gåtur på vagtvagten på toppen af volden, som er den bedste måde at få øje på de nærliggende strandenge.

Lovely tour with Veronica’s commentary, great company and recommendations at all places. She even took care of small things like carrying along insect repellent spray, cold water tank for refill and detours to get closer views of the wild horses. Would highly recommend!
A great tour. Our guide Veronica was amazing - very friendly and knowledgeable. Itinerary was ideal with a good mix between wildlife and villages. We stopped several times to see wild horses and bulls and the bird park with the flamingoes was great.
Nicholas was an excellent host and driver who shared lots of information along the way on this small group tour. We had plenty of time at the bird park to enjoy the abundance of flamingos and other birds. We stopped to see the white horses and the bulls of the Camargue. Aigues Mortes and Saint Maries de la Mer were both beautiful villages to visit with plenty of shops, restaurants and points of interest. A full day which I thoroughly enjoyed and would not have had the opportunity to visit without this tour.
Fantastic day with Nicholas. His commentary & responses to questions about all aspects of the area was very informative. Recommend doing this tour to anyone. Seeing probably more than a thousand flamingoes in one location should be interesting to anyone. Learning about the horses, bulls & the housing of the local inhabitants, their customs, history & contemporary lifestyles very interesting also. A constructive suggestion though: perhaps 5 or 10 minutes more for lunch at Saintes Marie’s del la Mer & 5 or 10 minutes less in the afternoon at Aigues-Mortes.
I have been trying to do this tour for about 4 years and it did not disappoint. The day was perfect, the van very comfortable and spacious so ideal for a group of 6 with space for more and still comfortable. Clean, modern (charger for my iphone after taking so many photos) and good for expressway and local roads driving. Veronica drove and was our guide. She was informative, had a good sense of humour, managed the group differences well and gave us good suggestions for lunch at one of our stops. The Bird sanctuary fantastic could have stayed all day, the mediterranean, beautiful and the town very distinctly different to anything else in France, the scenery - lovely to be out in all those spaces - the stop after lunch we got on a celebration day so lots of people - celebrating. That did not detract from this lovely town of Aigues Mort with its history. A great tour and so glad I finally got to do it. Planning on bringing a group back.
Veronica was knowledgeable, professional, and personable. Her commentary was astute and insightful. She was an excellent driver and skillfully steered us to the highlights of the area. Her detailed maps were appreciated by this wondering soul. ;-) My friend and I had the opportunity to sit up front and chat with her on the return trip, and we thoroughly enjoyed hearing about her life & future travels. All in all a wonderful day!
We thoroughly enjoyed our day in Camargue. Veronica was a terrific guide - engaging and interesting throughout the day, giving us a deep and comprehensive background on the area while we were driving through it. The stops on the tour were well-chosen and interesting, with just the right amount of time to visit each. We saw plenty of wildlife, including horses, bulls, and more flamingos than I’ve ever seen in one place. Highly recommended to anyone with an interest in the area.
This was a wonderful experience that I’d wanted to do for a very long time and it definitely didn’t disappoint. Nicholas was an amazing guide and I’m so happy that I chose Provans to do this tour with. There was the perfect amount of time at each stop which included seeing the beautiful Camargue horses and bulls, the incredible bird sanctuary where we saw many many pink flamingos and other bird species, a stop at Saintes-Marie’s-de-la-Mer and Aigues-Mortes. Such an interesting day. Nicholas gave us just the right amount of information and tips and nothing was too much trouble. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area. I had a perfect day and highly recommend this fabulous company.
My daughter and I had a very enjoyable day. Our guide Nico was very knowledgeable about the area, he was friendly, punctual and we had plenty of time in each part of the trip to soak in the sights. We were well looked after being supplied with plenty of water as it was an extremely hot day.
It was a very well organized tour. The tour guide was friendly and told us a lot about the area. The free time in the cities was sufficient to walk independently through the streets and enjoy the views. The ride in the air-conditioned minibus and cold water for refilling were very pleasant at over 30 degrees outside temperature. It was a lot of fun. Highly recommended
