IT ADJOINS "GRAU DU ROI", WHERE ONE OF THE LARGEST TRAWLER FLEETS IN FRANCE IS BASED. THERE ARE A MYRIAD OF LITTLE SEA FOOD RESTAURANTS IN GRAU DU ROI. THE ANCIENT FORTIFIED ROMAN/MEDIEVAL TOWN OF AIGUES MORT IS TEN MINUTES UP THE ROAD,TUCKED BETWEEN THE SEA SALT MOUNTAINS, THE PINK FLAMINGO ETANGS (PONDS), THE CAMARGUE HORSES, THE BLACK CAMARGUE BULLS AND THE WINE CAVES. IN THE PORT WE ADJOIN THE SAILING/WINDSURFING SCHOOL AND THE TENNIS. LA GRANDE MOTTE HAS AN EXCELLENT GOLF COURSE.
As a World recognised Nature Reserve the 80,000 Hectare "Camargue" Wetlands are liberally covered with Observer Hides. These can be walked, jogged, cycled or horse ridden to. This particular hide can be driven to as it is on the road to L'Epiguette Lighthouse.
Local Paella, Fresh Baked Bread and a Local Cotes de Nimes Wine can provide a simple snack.
Lunch is on it's way! In the background is the 70's Chic "La Grande Motte". These are luxury apartments not cheap holiday homes. In these waters in 1542, Barbarossa anchored his fleet "to help" his ally François I.
You can choose Activity or Relaxation.
Ready to relax in St Katherine's Haven, Tower Bridge, London!
NEW YEAR 2007!
The Dowson Family from London booked "Saul Nomad" for their New Year's Eve Celebrations!
Perfect weather allowed us a leisurely cruise of the Gulf of Lion.
...with fine views such as the spectacular "La Grande Motte" rising from the low lying coastline, but framed by the mountains of the Massif Central that rise behind it.
