In Terre d'Argence, from Provence to the Camargue, the waterways have, since the beginning of time, facilitated the meeting of peoples and cultures.  On the Rhône, the Petit Rhône, or the Rhône-Sète canal, Beaucaire, Fourques, Bellegarde and Vallabrègues open their welcoming ports and moorings to river travellers.  The flapping of sails, the hum of motors, the slapping of the wavelets, sparkling beneath the hot sun of the Midi, bring to the mouth a refreshing taste, with hints of aniseed - so many invitations to rest and idleness.

At Christmas, towns and villages put up their lights.  A magic spectacle shared by the waterways - in the port of Beaucaire, yachts, barges and other boats dress with multi-coloured lights. And their shimmering reflections in the peaceful water blend with those of the stars.
Decoration of the boats at Christmas
For those who prefer to cruise on the Rhône and the Rhône-Sète canal, between Provence and the Camargue, in greater luxury, the floating hotels of Bellegarde offer theme cruises. Art and history, wine courses or golf - the choice is yours.
Boat hire
If your dream is of setting off on the water in search of adventure, you can rent a river boat at Beaucaire or Bellegarde.  On the Rhône-Sète Canal, with family or friends, you can sail peacefully amongst the birds, the horses and the bulls of the Camargue.
