At the scheduled time, we will gather in front of O’Sullivans Pub Montpellier. From there, a comfortable minibus will transport us to embark on a stunning journey through the Occitania region in southern France. With everyone on board, we’re ready to depart!

After a drive of approximately 28 km (17.4 mi), we’ll arrive at the remarkable walled city of Aigues-Mortes. Imagine a town marvelously constructed over marsh landscapes—it's an exceptional example of historic urban planning! Once in the city, we’ll stroll through the center and along the well-preserved fortifications that surround it.

Following our exploration guided by an expert, we’ll have the opportunity to savor a sampling of local specialties, including Camargue salt and fougasse, a fragrant and delectable flatbread, along with a variety of other regional treats.

If your visit falls between April and October, we’ll hop on a train for an enchanting ride across the Camargue Salt Flats. Upon our arrival, the striking pink hues of the lagoon’s waters will transport you to a dreamlike setting—prepare to be astounded!
