Safaris on the salt

Curling around the western brim of the Camargue, the Mediterranean port of Le Grau-du-Roi is a water-locked paradise where sun-soaked sands and lush wetlands meet head-on. Sandy beaches stretch along the western shore, where the Port Camargue marina is circled by palm-lined promenades and waterfront restaurants. To the east, the pink-tinted salt lagoons and lush marshes of the Camargue Regional Park are a breeding ground for the region’s ubiquitous white horses, black bulls, and flamingos—and visiting is one of the top things to do in Le Grau-du-Roi.
