Holiday houses in Camargue & holiday apartments in Camargue

Experience nature's glory with a holiday home in quirky Camargue

A triangular area on the coast of France just south of the historic town of Arles, the Camargue was designated a botanical and zoological nature reserve in 1927 and 1970 because of its ecological importance. Rent a holiday home or holiday apartment in Camargue - best visited in either autumn and spring - and explore the largest river delta in western Europe. Kids especially will appreciate the region's rich wildlife and outdoor activities.

Rent a holiday house for flora, fauna and horseback rides

Book a holiday rental in Camargue and explore undulating wetlands, pastures, dunes and salt flats. The region is a bird-watcher's paradise. The largest salt water lagoon - Étang de Vaccarès - offers refuge to hundreds of migratory and sedentary bird species, including wagtails, egrets, night herons, bitterns and mallards. However, pink flamingos make for the most colourful spectacle. The region is also famous for its semi-wild horses: the Camargue horse is no ordinary species - it relates closely to prehistoric horses whose remains have been unearthed elsewhere in France. While horse-back rides are the most romantic way to explore the Camargue, three discovery circuits are available to hikers and cyclists: hop out of the front door of your holiday rental right onto a picturesque walking route.

Discover southern France with a holiday home in Camargue

The culture of southern France is right on your doorstep if you book a holiday house or holiday apartment in Camargue. Foodies simply must sample the trademark Camargue beef stuffed with rice, Ollada (beef stew) and tellinas (shellfish cooked with onions, herbs and white wine). Parc Ornithologique de Pont de Grau and the Musée Camarguais are must visits for travellers looking to learn about the history and geography of the region. The Camargue is also where Europe's sole remaining cowboys - the Gardiens - breed black bulls for the bullrings of Languedoc and Spain. Truly, this otherworldly region is unlike any other.
