Excursión ciclista de un día de Arlés a Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer

This beautiful ride takes you from the historic town of Arles down to the legendary Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, right in the heart of the Camargue. It’s about 42 kilometers, mostly flat, and passes through stunning wetlands and open marshes that make the area famous.

You’ll roll out from Arles, known for its Roman ruins (like the impressive amphitheater), and soon swap city streets for quiet country roads and gravel tracks. The route is a mix—expect plenty of paved and gravel surfaces, but nothing too challenging. Keep an eye out for flamingos and wild horses as you pedal through the nature reserves!

After enjoying the wildlife and sprawling landscape, you’ll arrive in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, a lively seaside village famous for its church and annual gypsy pilgrimage. It’s the perfect place to refuel on fresh seafood by the beach. Bring a camera—you’ll want to remember this ride!
