  • 1 review | 35 travellers
    Great tour guide and great mix of places to see and activities during the trip. David, the tour guide was superb and ensured that our trip was truly memorable. He catered to our every need and I would highly recommend this trip and tour guide. I would happily sign up for additional trips with David and I am looking forward to taking other family members on this trip.

Day Trip Details

At the indicated time, we’ll meet in front of O’Sullivans Pub Montpellier. From there, we’ll set off by minibus to begin a spectacular tour of the Occitania region in southern France. Everyone seated? Let’s go!

After traveling 28 km (17.4 mi), we’ll reach the walled city of Aigues-Mortes. Can you imagine a town built on marshland? It’s a true historical marvel of urban planning! Once there, we’ll walk through the town center and along the walls that protect this city, which has remained in excellent condition.

After exploring the city on a guided tour and discovering all its charms, we’ll enjoy a tasting of regional specialties such as Camargue salt or fougasse, a delicious aromatic flatbread, among other local delicacies.

If you take the tour between April and October, we’ll then board a train for a ride through the Camargue Salt Flats. As soon as we arrive, you’ll feel like you’re on another planet thanks to the pink color of the water in this lagoon. You’ll be amazed!

With this pleasant experience behind us, we’ll head to the Carbonnière Tower. There, we’ll climb the staircase to enjoy wonderful views of the surrounding marshes and rice fields. Get your cameras ready!

Finally, we’ll return to Montpellier and end the day trip after a total of 3.5 hours at the original meeting point.
