...sheer magic! How wonderful to watch the intricate ballet each day, as the trawlers return home proudly bearing the sea’s bounty!
The past and present blend effortlessly together...
The place has an atmosphere all its own...
... in the morning, while the trawler men unload the catch onto the quay side, their wives set out their stalls, their cries mingling as they tempt passers-by with sea bass, bream or mackerel! And a lump comes to the throat as you watch a magnificent sailing boat as it sets out, riding the waves towards the horizon!

Grau du Roi, a fishing port from earliest times, became a seaside resort at the beginning of the 20th century. Starting out as the preferred bathing resort for “bathers” from Nîmes, the Cevennes and from nearby Vaucluse, this maritime town has kept pace with the evolution of leisure pursuits. Over the years, it has gained both in standing and in character. A stay in Grau du Roi Port Camargue cannot leave you unmoved. This is a place with a salty personality and a vibrant history… Yet it retains the atmosphere and charm of a Mediterranean village, where the sounds of noisy conversation also add to the local colour.
The Camargue, quintessentially Mediterranean...
So, what’s it to be? The Camargue, the charm of village life, the beach, sailing, local culture, one of the countless opportunities for discovering something new or one of the many other possible activities; or a combination of all of these?

What does a holiday mean to you?
How lovely to see horses galloping along Espiguette beach, a vast expanse of golden sand, ideal for stretching out or for long walks, depending on the season, under the gentle gaze of the lighthouse that overlooks it ...
And then there’s the quality of the light, its cloudless intensity, day after day. Set against the azure sky, the white walls of the houses create a picture that is so typically Mediterranean. Yes, definitely, with all this you’ll find the meaning of a special holiday.
