6 days in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer Itinerary

Engulfed in the Provençal culture, Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer has many literary, artistic, and musical references from master artists due to its location where the Rhône meets the Mediterranean and as the pilgrimage destination for Romany people, sometimes called gypsies.

Venture out of the city with trips to Miramas (Miramas-le-Vieux, McArthurGlen Provence, &more), Pont Flavien (in St Chamas) and Martigues (Port de Peche de Carro & Petit Musee de Carro). There's much more to do: identify plant and animal life at Le Parc Ornithologique de Pont de Gau, kick back and relax at Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer Beach, take in panoramic vistas at Notre Dame de la Mer - Église fortifiée, and explore the wealth of natural beauty at The Camargue.

Expect a daytime high around 14°C in February, and nighttime lows around 3°C. Cap off your sightseeing on the 6th (Sat) early enough to travel back home.
