  • 1. Centre de Ginès and Parc Ornithologique du Pont-de-Gau, Camargue

    For a spectacular view of the Camargue, visit the information centre and bird park, where enclosures display the lagoons’ bird life (see Parc Ornithologique du Pont-de-Gau).

  • 2. Musée Camarguais, The Camargue

    The Camargue comes to life in this fascinating museum, housed in a farmhouse (see Musée Camarguais).

  • 3. Château de Barbentane

    This delightful Italianate mansion was built in 1674 and is ornately decorated with 17th-century antiques.

  • 4. Notre-Dame des Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer

    Dominating the seaside village, this 12th-century church (see Eglise de Notre-Dame, Les-Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer) houses relics of St Sarah and has superb views from its roof terrace.

  • 5. Eygalières

    This village was the source of Arles’s water supply in Roman times, via an aqueduct. A 12th-century church and ruined castle stand in the village.

  • 6. Château de l’Emperi, Salon-de-Provence

    The imposing chateau was once the seat of the archbishops of Arles. It now houses a collection of military uniforms, many dating from the time of Napoleon.

    The most attractive aspect of this 19th-century abbey is its painted depictions of saints.

  • 8. Château de Beaucaire

    Facing the Château de Tarascon (see Château de Tarascon) is this ruined 11th-century chateau.

  • 9. Abbaye de St-Roman

    This remarkable 5th-century abbey is the only troglodyte monastery in Europe.

  • 10. Musée Baroncelli, Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer

    This museum celebrates Marquis Folco de Baroncelli-Javon (1869– 1943), who spent his life maintaining the traditions of Camargue gardians (see Bouches-du-Rhône).
