Boat Holidays in France - Camargue

From Cap d’Agde to the Camargue, only a thin strip of white sand separates the Mediterranean from the canals and lagoons that you cruise through.

Pink flamingoes, white horses, and the wild black bulls are the well known features of the Camargue landscape. Cruises through the Camargue are all virtually lock-free.

Starting from Lattes, on the outskirts of Montpellier, you will cruise close to the Mediterranean beaches, in an area of amazing bird, animal and plant life. Enjoy the bathing at Palavas les Flots. At the edge of the sand and the sea stands the Cathedral of Maguelonne, while in the seaport of Sète canals crisscross the picturesque old town.

On the Bassin (Etang) de Thau you follow the Canal du Midi through the middle of oyster beds to arrive at Agde, originally founded by the ancient Greeks. Make the most of the beaches before crossing the Etang de Thau to reach its little ports and oysterbeds.

From Lattes you can head instead along the Canal du Rhône à Sète: proudly rising above the lagoons and salt flats of the Midi is the ancient walled town of Aigues Mortes, the port from which the Crusaders set sail.
