Excursion Camargue private escape & traditional manade heritage tour at Sete

Enjoy an exclusive journey into the authentic landscapes, traditions, and wildlife of the Camargue, with a private Manade experience and 4x4 safari.

Aigues-Mortes, Medieval Walled City

Depart the pier for the scenic one hour drive to Aigues-Mortes, a striking medieval fortress town rising dramatically from the surrounding marshes. Enjoy a guided visit through its charming streets while learning about its rich history and strategic importance to the region.

Traditional Camargue Manade, Local Lunch

Continue to a traditional Camargue Manade, a working bull ranch where black bulls and white horses live in semi-freedom. Here, enjoy a set-menu lunch featuring regional specialties, including the signature Gardianne de Taureau, a slow-cooked bull stew.  

Private 4x4 Safari Experience

After lunch, board a private 4x4 vehicle for a guided safari across the estate’s private lands. This intimate exploration provides exceptional opportunities to observe Camargue wildlife, such as flamingos, ducks, bulls, and horses in their natural habitat. Your driver, a local manadier, offers insider insight into the cultural traditions, daily work, and heritage of Camargue bull breeding.

This full-day experience that blends history, gastronomy, and nature ends with a one-hour scenic drive back to pier.
