Camargue between land and water by houseboat

Experiencing this stunning French region from a barge or houseboat allows you to enjoy and appreciate its beauty in a new way. With our boat hire service, you can embark on a unique barging adventure, gliding through its peaceful fluvial landscapes.

From your boat, you will find that it is simple to reach many different places on foot or by bike, allowing you to admire the lazy beaches of the Mediterranean or even discover the wild and mythic parts of Camargue. Whether you’re seeking relaxation or exploration, this trip will leave you with unforgettable memories.

  • Large expanses of salt marshes and the vast natural park are home to a very diverse fauna: pink flamingos, bulls, wild horses and about 350 different types of migratory birds who normally nest in the Rhone delta. You could make your cruise into a safari and experience the all the beautiful environments that the South of France has to offer
  • A lake of adventure; Lake Thau invites you to experience sea navigation while delighting in visiting the welcoming ports that lie on the lake, such as Frontignan or Marseillan

The must-see cultural curiosities

  • The town of Aigues-Mortes which has a rich cultural past that is strongly linked with the kings of France. The pedestrian centre is also surrounded by 1640m of ramparts dating back to the 13th century.
  • Béziers: as you leave behind the countryside of Camargue you will come across the magnificent landscapes of Béziers in the Cathar region.

Adventuring in the Camargue on a houseboat is the same as entering another world where you discover nature and history all set in the beautiful, sunlight South of France.
