France Boating Holidays - Camargue
Beaucaire Base
From the waterways of the Canal du Rhone a Sete you get a unique and magical insight to the desolate yet beautiful wetlands of the Camargue, home to and famous for its wild white horses, flocks of pink flamingos and bull-fighting bulls – as well as thousands of other species of bird and wildlife. Whilst here, take a day out to dip your toes in the sea at the fashionable resort of Saintes Maries de la Mer or walk the walls of the ancient crusader city of Aigues Mortes, one of the Camargue’s principal towns.
