Cycling day trip from Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer to Arles

Kick off your ride in the charming coastal town of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, a gem in the Camargue with its rich history and vibrant wildlife. It's an ideal spot for nature lovers with its flamingos and wild horses roaming free. From here, you'll head towards Arles, a city that promises a rendezvous with Roman history and Vincent van Gogh's artistic inspiration.

The journey stretches over 42 km, promising scenic views of the beautiful Provencal countryside. You'll mostly glide along tracks and quiet roads, perfect for soaking in the serene landscape and rustling wetlands.
