*Around 480 kilometres from Tarascon via Les Baux and Arles into the Rhône delta, past the salt gardens of Salin-de-Giraud and Aigues-Mortes to the Roman monuments of Nîmes, then on to Uzès and the Pont du Gard – with a detour to the sea at Sète.*

## The spirit of the route

The Camargue is flat, but never empty. Beyond Arles the landscape dissolves into water: rice fields, reeds, étangs where hundreds of flamingos stand against the light, and between them black bulls behind wooden fences and white horses in the salt grass. The wind is your constant companion – sometimes warm and salty from the sea, sometimes the mistral that slams the sliding door and sweeps the sky clean. In the morning, pink salt pans near Salin-de-Giraud; in the evening, bullfighting posters on the walls of Arles and Nîmes, where Roman arenas still fill up today. Before and after comes limestone: the rugged Alpilles with Les Baux on its rocky ridge, the garrigue around Uzès, the Gardon beneath the three tiers of arches of the Pont du Gard. This route calls for respect for the delta: mosquito protection, fixed pitches rather than nights on the beach, and an eye on the weather warnings when autumn rain comes over the Cévennes.

## Stage-by-stage plan

### Stage 1: Tarascon to Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (via Les Baux-de-Provence) (approx. 40 km)

- **The drive:** From Tarascon take the D99 towards Saint-Rémy, then head south into the Alpilles: via Mas-Blanc and the D27 up to Les Baux, through the Val d’Enfer with limestone cliffs close to the carriageway. The roads are paved but narrow and winding, with buses and cyclists coming the other way. From Les Baux continue via Maussane and the D5 across the Alpilles to Saint-Rémy. Pure driving time is a good hour.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Château de Tarascon on the bank of the Rhône, King René’s medieval castle, with a view across the river to Beaucaire.
  - Les Baux-de-Provence: a ruined castle on a rocky plateau and the Carrières de Lumières, a former limestone quarry where image and sound shows are projected onto the rock walls.
  - Glanum and the monastery of Saint-Paul-de-Mausole on the southern edge of Saint-Rémy, where Van Gogh lived and painted in 1889/90.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Around Saint-Rémy there are several campsites close to the centre, such as Camping Mas de Nicolas, Camping Monplaisir and Camping Pégomas, all with electric hook-up, sanitary facilities and waste disposal; most are open from spring to autumn. At the start in Tarascon, Camping Le Tartarin lies on the bank of the Rhône below the castle.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** Les Baux is a site classé with numerous monuments historiques – staying overnight outside official sites is out of the question here, and the car parks below the village are pay-and-display and meant for day visits only (Parking Vayède: daily 9 am–7 pm, first hour €5, about a 10-minute walk to the village). In summer the Bouches-du-Rhône prefecture regulates access to the Alpilles massif daily according to wildfire risk; at a high level, hiking trails and forest car parks are closed.
- **Insider tip for campers:** The tourist office can tell you whether and where motorhomes are allowed in Les Baux (height, length); the village itself is not designed for large vehicles. Arrive early in the day. For an overnight stay, the municipal pay aire in Fontvieille at the Moulin de Daudet is a good choice (about 40 pitches, Avenue des Moulins). Saint-Rémy has a large market on Wednesday mornings around the old town – on that day leave the camper outside the boulevard ring.

### Stage 2: Saint-Rémy-de-Provence to Arles (via Fontvieille) (approx. 30 km)

- **The drive:** Take the D5 back via Maussane, then the D17 through olive groves to Fontvieille and on into the Rhône plain to Arles. Wide, quiet country roads with no pinch points, around 40 minutes’ driving time. In Arles itself the old-town lanes cannot be driven by motorhomes.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Aqueducs de Barbegal near Fontvieille: remains of a Roman watermill complex in a field, freely accessible.
  - Moulin de Daudet on the hill above Fontvieille with a view over the Alpilles.
  - Arles: Roman amphitheatre, ancient theatre, the cloister of Saint-Trophime and the Alyscamps; the Fondation Luma tower by Frank Gehry in the Parc des Ateliers.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Camping City lies on the east side of Arles on the Route de la Crau, about a 20–25 minute walk from the old town, with electric hook-up and sanitary facilities. Quieter and greener is Camping Les Manades towards Raphèle-lès-Arles. Check the season and motorhome pitches in advance.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** In the town of Arles only parking in permitted areas is allowed, not overnighting in camping mode. The surroundings are unsuitable for wild camping: Rhône embankments and farm tracks are part of the flood defences and belong to private mas. Plan on a campsite or aire.
- **Insider tip for campers:** Arles has multi-storey car parks with height limits and a narrow old town. With a motorhome, park in the large level car parks on the edge of the centre, as early in the day as possible, or cycle in from the campsite. On Saturdays there is a big market on the Boulevard des Lices, on Wednesdays on the Boulevard Émile Combes – the ring roads are then packed. In a mistral expect crosswinds on the Rhône bridge to Trinquetaille.

### Stage 3: Arles to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer (approx. 40 km)

- **The drive:** Cross the Rhône bridge to Trinquetaille, then follow the D570 dead straight through the Camargue: rice fields, reed-lined canals, manades with bulls and horses. Hardly any bends, but strong crosswinds and heavy traffic towards the sea in summer. Around 40 minutes without stops.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Musée de la Camargue in the Mas du Pont de Rousty on the D570, with a nature trail through the grazing land.
  - Parc ornithologique du Pont de Gau just before Saintes-Maries: circular paths through étangs with flamingos, herons and storks up close, open all year.
  - Church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Mer in Saintes-Maries – from the roof of the fortified church there are views over the delta and the sea.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** The municipal Aire de camping-car Plage Ouest lies on the beach west of the town: up to about 100 pitches behind the dunes, around 2 km from the town centre, no electric hook-up, fresh water against tokens, waste disposal, pay (most recently around €16 per night for two people, longer vehicles pay more). With electric hook-up and sanitary facilities: Camping Le Clos du Rhône on the Petit Rhône west of the aire, or Camping La Brise de Camargue on the east side of the town.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** Saintes-Maries restricts motorhomes: outside the designated aires, overnighting is prohibited throughout the municipality, and you should expect checks and fines on roadsides and beaches. The Camargue is a Parc naturel régional, and the beaches and étangs are protected areas – wild camping by the sea is out of the question.
- **Insider tip for campers:** At the end of May (24/25 May, pilgrimage of the Gitans) and around festivals the town is overcrowded – arrive early or go elsewhere then. Mosquitoes start shortly after sunset: close the fly screens before any light goes on in the camper. Fuel in the town is expensive; better to fill up in Arles.

### Stage 4: Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer to Salin-de-Giraud (Plage de Piémanson) (approx. 70 km)

- **The drive:** Take the D570 back as far as Albaron, then the D37 along the north shore of the Étang de Vaccarès and via Villeneuve onto the D36 southwards to Salin-de-Giraud; after that 12 km on the D36D through the salt pans to the Piémanson beach. Flat, in places narrow roads with no hard shoulder, and no room to pull onto the verge beside the canals. Around 1.5 hours’ driving time.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - La Capelière, information centre of the Réserve naturelle nationale de Camargue on the east shore of the Vaccarès, with observation hides.
  - Point de vue du Sel near Salin-de-Giraud: a view over the salt mountains and pink evaporation basins of the salt works.
  - Domaine de la Palissade at the mouth of the Rhône, a natural area with nature trails and observation platforms.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** In Salin-de-Giraud, Camping Les Bois Flottés lies on the edge of the village, with electric hook-up, sanitary facilities and service points for fresh water and waste. At the entrance to the village the city of Arles (to which Salin-de-Giraud belongs) runs a small aire de services (around 20 pitches) for fresh water and waste; water is charged for, camping behaviour is not permitted there, and whether overnighting is possible should be checked on site.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** For decades Piémanson was France’s wildest motorhome beach, until the authorities and the city of Arles ended summer wild camping in 2016. Since then camping on the beach has been banned, a barrier and boulders keep vehicles off the sand, and the public car park is open daily from 6 am to 10 pm according to the Arles tourist office; overnighting there is not intended. Stay overnight in Salin-de-Giraud.
- **Insider tip for campers:** The road to the Plage de Piémanson runs through salt pans with no shade and no supplies: take water, sun protection and wind protection. If you want to continue east, take the Bac de Barcarin across the Rhône to Port-Saint-Louis – check the timetable, the tariff for motorhomes and the height and weight limits in advance with the operator. In a mistral or easterly wind the beach is sandblasted; then it is better to visit the salt pans in the morning.

### Stage 5: Salin-de-Giraud to Aigues-Mortes (approx. 85 km)

- **The drive:** Back north on the D36, via Albaron onto the D570 and, shortly before Saintes-Maries, west on the D58 through the Petite Camargue: vineyards in sand, rice fields, étangs. Cross the Petit Rhône into the Gard département, then on to Aigues-Mortes. Well-built, flat roads, around 1.5 hours.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - The walls and Tour de Constance of Aigues-Mortes – the walk along the ramparts shows the salt pans stretching to the horizon.
  - Salins d’Aigues-Mortes: guided tours by little train or on foot through the salt gardens, whose basins glow pink in late summer, season roughly spring to autumn.
  - Flamingos in the étangs along the D58 – use the lay-bys, do not stop on the verge.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Aigues-Mortes has the aire “Parking P4” near the town walls, within walking distance of the centre: 150 pitches (shared with cars), accessible all year round, 24 hours a day, from €22 per 24 hours according to the Gard tourist office, with service point for fresh water and waste, toilets and refuse disposal – check the tariff on site. With electric hook-up and sanitary facilities: Camping La Petite Camargue west of the town on the road to Le Grau-du-Roi.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** The town walls are a monument historique, and the surrounding area is a Natura 2000 site and wetland. Overnighting outside the aires is not tolerated; the car parks at the ramparts partly have height restrictions or a ban on campervans.
- **Insider tip for campers:** The old town inside the walls is off limits to motorhomes. In July and August visit Aigues-Mortes early in the morning and avoid the exposed paths at midday – there is no shade on the salt pans. During festivals with bull runs (abrivados) access roads are temporarily closed; ask the Office de Tourisme for dates.

### Stage 6: Aigues-Mortes to Nîmes (via Le Grau-du-Roi and L’Espiguette) (approx. 65 km)

- **The drive:** Follow the canals briefly to Le Grau-du-Roi, through Port-Camargue to the lighthouse and beach at L’Espiguette, then back and via Saint-Laurent-d’Aigouze, Aimargues and Vauvert on wide country roads to Nîmes. Flat up to the edge of the Costières, around 1.5 hours.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Plage de l’Espiguette: a kilometres-long sandy beach with dunes and the lighthouse in the hinterland, one of the last undeveloped stretches of coast in the Gard.
  - Fishing harbour of Le Grau-du-Roi with its canal and the lighthouse on the mole.
  - Nîmes: Les Arènes, the best-preserved Roman arena in France, the Maison Carrée and the Jardins de la Fontaine with the Tour Magne.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** In Nîmes, Camping Domaine de la Bastide lies in the south of the city on the road to Générac, with electric hook-up, sanitary facilities and waste disposal; check opening times in advance. In Le Grau-du-Roi there is a Camping-Car-Park aire with electric hook-up and service point (access card), and at L’Espiguette beach the large Camping de l’Espiguette directly behind the dunes.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** The beach car park at L’Espiguette is pay-and-display and can be used by motorhomes during the day; overnighting is prohibited at night, and the dunes are a protected area. In Nîmes itself, park only in car parks, no camping behaviour.
- **Insider tip for campers:** Nîmes has set up a zone à faibles émissions; which Crit’Air classes may enter when and where is determined by Nîmes Métropole – check the Métropole’s website before the trip, and display the sticker in any case. The easy way into the centre is by Tram’bus from a park-and-ride car park on the edge of town. During the Feria (Pentecost and mid-September) the boulevards around the arena are closed.

### Stage 7: Nîmes to Pont du Gard (via Uzès) (approx. 55 km)

- **The drive:** Take the D979 north through the garrigue, over the Saint-Nicolas bridge across the Gorges du Gardon and on to Uzès. Then follow the D981 downhill to the Pont du Gard. A winding stretch at the gorge, otherwise wide roads; together a good hour.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Uzès: the Duché with its donjon, the Tour Fenestrelle and the Place aux Herbes with the Saturday market under the arcades.
  - Pont Saint-Nicolas over the Gorges du Gardon – a lay-by on the D979 with a view into the gorge.
  - Pont du Gard: the three-tiered Roman aqueduct above the Gardon, with a museum and paths on both banks; the best light is in the late afternoon.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** The Camping-Car-Park aire in Remoulins on the Gardon (a good 30 pitches, electric hook-up, service point, access card, maximum 72 hours) lies just under 3 km from the aqueduct. Campsites by the river: La Sousta in Remoulins, Camping Le Barralet near Collias and Domaine des Gorges du Gardon in Vers-Pont-du-Gard, all with electric hook-up and sanitary facilities, open seasonally.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** The two car parks at the Pont du Gard (rive gauche and rive droite) can only be used during the site’s opening hours; overnighting there is not allowed. The garrigue around the Gardon belongs to the Gard massifs: at wildfire level orange, camping and bivouacking are prohibited, and at red, access is prohibited (map at risque-prevention-incendie.fr/30).
- **Insider tip for campers:** The parking ticket at the Pont du Gard is per vehicle and includes access to the site – check the price, any separate motorhome tariff and height limits in advance with the Site du Pont du Gard. Uzès is packed on Saturday mornings; leave the camper at the car parks on the edge of town. After heavy rain the Gardon can rise within hours – avoid riverbanks and river bathing spots then.

### Stage 8: Pont du Gard to Sète (optional) (approx. 95 km)

- **The drive:** Via Remoulins to the A9 and on the motorway past Nîmes and Montpellier towards Sète, the last kilometres via Frontignan or Balaruc to the Étang de Thau. Tolls on the A9; around 1.25 hours. If you would rather finish in Montpellier, leave the A9 before it – the city has its own ZFE.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Mont Saint-Clair above Sète: a view over the sea and the Étang de Thau with its oyster farms.
  - Canals and fishing harbour of Sète with the fish halls and the Cimetière marin, where Paul Valéry is buried.
  - Oyster farming at Bouzigues on the Étang de Thau.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** The Camping-Car-Park aire in Frontignan (electric hook-up, service point, access card) lies north-east of Sète near the beach. On the Étang de Thau: Camping municipal Pech d’Ay in Balaruc-les-Bains or the Camping municipal of Loupian, both with electric hook-up and sanitary facilities.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** Sète and the neighbouring municipalities on the Lido restrict motorhomes; observe prohibition signs and height barriers at beach car parks. Use the designated aires, such as the Aire des Bains in Balaruc-les-Bains.
- **Insider tip for campers:** The centre of Sète is narrow and congested on market days, and Mont Saint-Clair has narrow access roads – with a large motorhome it is better to go up by bus or bike. On the A9 in a mistral or tramontane, watch for gusts on the bridges.

## Camping practice & local rules

### Wild camping & overnight parking

- In France a motorhome counts as a vehicle and may park wherever parking is allowed (for a maximum of 7 days in the same place), as long as no municipal order (arrêté) says otherwise. Camping behaviour – stabilising legs, awning, table and chairs, draining waste water – is prohibited outside campsites and aires.
- Wild camping is prohibited in sites classés such as Les Baux, within 500 m of monuments historiques (Arènes, Pont du Gard, ramparts of Aigues-Mortes), on sea shores and near drinking-water sources. In the Camargue, nature reserves, Natura 2000 areas and the national reserve are added to this.
- Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, Aigues-Mortes, Le Grau-du-Roi and the beach communes around Sète direct motorhomes to aires and prohibit overnighting elsewhere; at Piémanson beach camping has been banned since 2016, and the public car park is meant for day visits (6 am–10 pm). Expect checks.
- Wildfire: Bouches-du-Rhône and Gard close massifs such as the Alpilles or the garrigue at the Gardon depending on the danger level; maps at risque-prevention-incendie.fr, usually updated at 6 pm for the following day.
- Apps: park4night, Campercontact and the Camping-Car-Park app for aires with access cards; read comments about checks carefully.

### Waste disposal & supplies

- Fresh water and waste disposal is called “borne de service” or “aire de services”; Camping-Car-Park aires (Grau-du-Roi, Remoulins, Frontignan) work with an access card, which usually also bills electricity and water. In Saintes-Maries, water at the aire is available only against tokens and at fixed times.
- Empty grey water and the toilet cassette only at service points. In the Camargue every drop of waste water runs straight into canals and étangs – street drains are not a disposal point.
- Tap water is drinkable where “eau potable” is signposted. In summer on the coast, fill up with water at every opportunity: between Saintes-Maries and Salin-de-Giraud there are long stretches without supplies.
- Gas: French exchange cylinders (butane/propane) are available at supermarkets and petrol stations; foreign cylinders are not exchanged. LPG pumps for refilling tank cylinders (Dish or Euronozzle adapter) are thin on the ground – arrive with two full cylinders.

### Vehicle size & traffic rules

- Speed limits: motorhomes and combinations up to 3.5 t as for cars – 130 km/h on motorways, 110 km/h on expressways, 80 km/h on country roads (90 only where signposted), 50 in built-up areas; in rain 110/100/80. Motorhomes over 3.5 t up to 12 t: 110 on motorways, 100 on expressways with separate carriageways, 80 on other roads, speed disc on the rear. Combinations over 3.5 t: 90 on motorways and expressways, 80 on other roads.
- Vehicles over 3.5 t, expressly including motorhomes, need “Angles morts” stickers on the sides and rear; if they are missing, it costs €135.
- Low-emission zones: the abolition of the ZFE passed by parliament was struck down by the Conseil constitutionnel on 21 May 2026, so the zones remain. Nîmes and Montpellier have set up ZFE; which Crit’Air classes may enter is determined by each Métropole itself – check before the trip. The sticker also applies to foreign vehicles and is ordered only on the official website.
- Tolls on the A7, A9 and A54 at toll stations (card or télépéage box): class 2 for vehicles up to 3.5 t with a height of over 2 m and under 3 m, class 3 for two-axle vehicles from 3 m in height or over 3.5 t, class 4 for three or more axles. The Camargue roads D570, D36 and D58 are toll-free.
- Alcohol limit 0.5, for novice drivers 0.2; mobile phones and headsets at the wheel are prohibited. Hi-vis vest for the driver within reach (recommended for all occupants), warning triangle compulsory. Speed-camera warning devices are prohibited.
- Weather: in a mistral with gusts over 80 km/h, retract the awning and drive slowly over bridges and the open Crau. From September to November “épisodes cévenols” bring heavy rain over the Gard and Hérault – at Météo-France Vigilance orange or red, do not drive through flooded roads and avoid campsites near rivers.

## CampingSpirit packing & preparation checklist

- Mosquito protection for the Camargue: fly screens on all windows and the door, a mosquito net for the roof vent, repellent for dusk – in the core of the delta there is hardly any mosquito control.
- Long tent pegs and storm guy lines for the awning, or better still: do not put the awning out at all in a mistral.
- Binoculars or a spotting scope for the flamingos and waders at Pont de Gau, La Capelière and on the étangs.
- Crit’Air sticker (official website) for Nîmes and Montpellier, ordered in good time before the trip.
- Folding bikes for Arles, Aigues-Mortes and the way from Remoulins to the Pont du Gard – parking for large vehicles is scarce in the towns.
- Sun protection and large water containers: the salt pans and beaches of the Camargue offer neither shade nor supplies.

_As of 2026-09. Closures, fees and booking rules change: check official sources before you go._
