Cycling in the Camargue from Aigues-Mortes
Discover the Camargue by bike from Camping de la Petite Camargue in Aigues-Mortes
Set off by bike to explore unique landscapes of wild marshes, pink-hued salt flats, canals, and charming local villages. With its many cycle paths, greenways, and signposted routes, the Camargue is an ideal destination for family bike rides as well as more active outings.
From the campsite, you can easily reach the ramparts of Aigues-Mortes, the ViaRhôna, the Carbonnière Tower, as well as the vineyards and lagoons of the Camargue. Between flamingos, free-roaming horses, and vast unspoiled spaces, every bike ride becomes a true immersion in the heart of authentic nature.
