  • Le Parc Ornithologique de Pont de Gau, Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, France
    After a 1-hour drive through rice fields and brackish ponds, during which your tour guide will introduce you to the peculiarities of the Camargue, you will be dropped off at the beautiful Bird Park of Pont de Gau (admission ticket included). Created by a family of nature lovers in 1949, the Bird Park is situated in the heart of the regional nature park of the Camargue, which is how we call the delta of the Rhône river. There's no better place to observe the iconic bird of the region. An easy walk along marshes and ponds, following a well-signed footpath, will allow you to get very close to pink flamingos, that cohabit here with hundreds of other bird species.
    90 minutes
  • Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, France
    The Camargue is also a country of traditions and history. Meet your driver again and head to the charming coastal town of Saintes Maries de la Mer. Discover the legend that led to the construction of the impressive fortified church Our Lady from the Sea, known in France for the celebrations it holds for each Mary's feast, in May and October. The feast held in May draws large numbers of Roma Catholics to the town for a week. They come here to worship the relics of Sarah, their patron saint. Don't miss a visit to the interiors of the church, dating back to the beginning of the 11th century, and enjoy a panoramic view from the sentry walk on the roof (4€/adult). Afterwards head to the beach, where you can go for a relaxing walk along the promenade, where reproductions of Van Gogh's paintings are exhibited, or for a swim in the Mediterranean Sea. Don't forget to taste some local specialties, like seafood, bull meat and rice (lunch not included).
    120 minutes
  • Bac du Sauvage, Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, France
    After lunch, meet your guide again and continue the journey through wild landscapes and picturesque farms, ranches and salt marshes. Your tour guide will stop along the way to observe and photograph Camargue horses and bulls. These animals are a fundamental element of the region's culture, where it is not unusal to come across a bull race or a folklore event involving horses.
    30 minutes
  • Aigues-Mortes, Aigues-Mortes, France
    Before getting back to Avignon, discover Aigues Mortes, one of the highlights of the region, a wonderfully preserved walled city dating back in the 13th century. Funded by King Louis IX in 1240 as a starting base for the Crusades, Aigues Mortes comes out from nowhere among salt pans and rice fields. Its massive rampart shelters narrow paved streets and small squares, where you can do some shopping and taste delicious local desserts. You can also opt for a walk on the sentry walk atop the rampart, which is the best way to spot the neighboring salt marshes.

E' stata un'esperienza bellissima resa eccezionale ed indimenticabile dalla nostra Guida. Veronica ci ha accolti ed accompagnati durante il tragitto con entusiasmo, simpatia ed attenzione, ci ha illustrato con profonda conoscenza la narrazione sia attuale che storica della cultura dei luoghi. Ci ha intrattenuto anche con particolari aneddoti dai quali traspariva chiaramente la passione per il suo lavoro così ci ha dato modo di vivere intensamente la giornata. Il tempo libero a disposizione è stato perfetto . Merito di Veronica che ci ha esposto, documentato e consigliato nei minimi particolari come visitare, guardare e fotografare il Parco di Pont de Gau, ed i percorsi delle splendide St Marie de la Mer ed Aigues Mortes, in modo ideale. Per noi assolutamente consigliabile e Veronica è una super guida e Vi preghiamo di salutarla e ringraziarla a nome nostro. Natalina Ceccon Giuseppe Cappellaro

This was our second trip with PROVANS Tours, this time with the other half the the dynamic duo who own this business, Nicholas. We met in the same parking lot and headed south, to the Camargue region. On our way I mentioned I wanted a closeup of the beautiful sunflower fields and Nicholas pulled right off the road, onto a field path so we were surrounded with the beautiful flowers! As we entered the Camargue region we had a running dialogue about the history and the development of the region. We stopped to see, up close and personal, the flamingoes, the Camargue bulls and horses. We visited the villages of Saintes-Marie’s-de-la-Mer and Aigues Mortes. It was a long day packed with beauty and information. I love this couple and hope they have many years showing tourists their countryside.

Veronica was an exceptional guide which made the trip that much better. The Caramgue is an astounding area of wetlands. The visit at the bird sanctuary amazed us we were so close to the flamingos and they even flocked and flew. The horses are beautiful and friendly and the bulls magnificent. Aigues Morte was a surprise. We completely walked the ramparts and shopped in 2 impeccable confectionary shops that blew are minds with their variety and quailty. I was traveling with my adult daughters.
