Upon our arrival in Montpellier, let’s head for Grau du Roi, the starting point of our day’s adventure. Let’s get on our electric bike, to follow the guide through the authentic landscapes of the Camargue, to witness a flight of pink flamingos and taste local products.
Day 2: Our mouths will water!
The Mediterranean coast has many wonders… including its gastronomy and its know-how. Take advantage of this day to taste these treasures.
This morning’s awakening is sweet… Let’s meet the horses of the domain during an equine mediation session and enjoy a moment suspended in time.

The house of Noilly Prat specializes in Vermouth. With an expert, we learn the secrets of mixology and create our own Vermouth-based cocktail.

Let’s jump into the water! After having embarked in a kayak, let’s walk in the lagoon of Sigean and discover this preserved space by being in the front row. Wonderful landscapes open up to us with each stroke of the paddle, and with a little luck the curious local fauna will come to greet us.
