THE ++++
BOAT: If you have a transportable boat, there is a launch nearby, and instead of renting a location in the week, overpriced, Port Camargue or La Grande Motte, we can give you the possibility for less than 150 € / week to park it in the marina of Aigues Mortes, 7 km from the house. This will allow you to go directly to the beaches by boat through the Aigues Mortes canal, but also to go for a super hike of a few hours on the Canal du Midi. It is very easy to reach Carnon or Palavas on one side or to cross the Camargue in the middle of the reeds towards Gallician and Saint Gilles on the other side.
