Events calendar Camargue

Take a leap two thousand years back in time, this is what the Arelate association proposes with its festival organized every year, in August, in the "Little Rome of Gaul". For a week, the city lives to the rhythm of the Roman cohorts marching, gladiatorial fights and street shows. An event for history enthusiasts, as historical accuracy is required here, as well as for those who simply want to dream a little about this glorious era.

Since 1971, every year in July at the Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer and Domaine Paul Ricard in Méjanes (near Arles), the Horse Festival is taking place. This Feria of the horse brings together the greatest equestrian artists (Lucien Gruss, for example) and the horse becomes king on flamenco air. The programme is wide (show sound and light, bullfighting… on horseback, contests, demonstrations of equestrian art and Du, all on music background (wineries, peñas, bandas…). It is the annual rendez-vous of all chevaux and camarguaise culture: this clearly means thousands of people!

Join the festivities in Aimargues for 10 memorable days! Every year, the program of festivities is monumental: a grand intervillage between Aimargues and the village of Vauvert, manade competitions in the arenas with numerous trophies awarded every day, musical aperitifs, pétanque competitions, bandas, traditional balls with orchestras, entertainment for young and old... and to round off the bullfighting festivities, a grand bandido of 100 bulls is organized! It's another great opportunity to immerse yourself in the traditions of the Gard!

Offering in part an urban landscape (relative however: we are in Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône), then take us in a natural and preserved setting along the route of the beach Napoleon. The opportunity to take advantage of the panorama on the coast. Another asset? There are many sports activities to be carried out: The smooth mix allows joggers and cyclists to share their playground with roller and skateboard enthusiasts.
