    We had a wonderful time on this tour. Our driver Thierry was very attentive and ensured that we saw all the things on our bucket list. The Flamingo Bird park was spectacular and we saw horses and bulls albeit not in “the wild”. We visited St Marie de la Mer and had plenty of time to climb to the roof of the the Notre Dame church and get some spectacular views of the town and the Mediterranean. Thierry also dropped us off near our accommodation and saved us a train ride. Merci Thierry.

    Good but we spend little time at the Saintes Marie of the mother max 45 min and 50 min at the ornithological park. So it's a bit of a race. For horses and bulls we see them quickly passing by by car. The tour is worth it in any case, but do not hope to discover and wander around the Holy Mary.

    Beautiful

    Very beautiful trip, with a lovely and friendly guide, all I can say is that we would have liked to spend more time in the bird park, then in the little village. I would recommend it to anybody who would like to get a bit out of Avinon to see some nature, and of cause flamingos.
