About this experience
Your guide will pick you up at the Port of Sète or in Montpellier, and the day begins with a visit to the Petit Rhône Nature Reserve, where you’ll discover the rich biodiversity of the Camargue’s unique wetlands.
Next, climb up the Tour Carbonnière to admire the breathtaking panoramic views over the marshes and lagoons.
You’ll then head to the charming walled city of Aigues-Mortes. After a delicious lunch at a local restaurant (not included, but we can book a table for you), enjoy a stroll through the medieval streets and taste local specialties such as the famous sweet fougasse, artisan salts, and other regional delicacies.
With a mix of local flavors, unique landscapes, and authentic encounters, this tour offers a memorable journey into the heart of southern France.
As it's a private tour, we would be please to customize this tour as your wishes. (e.a we can replace the visit of the natural park by a winery).
