From Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, the first thing you see is the 12th-century church steeple, as the houses in this village between the sansouire and the lagoon are no more than one storey high.
In summer, Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer welcomes many tourists who come to enjoy its beaches and charming little streets. You can also visit the crypt or admire the view from the church's roof terrace.
The village of Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer is also known as a key pilgrimage site for gypsy culture. Every 25 May, more than 10,000 gypsies from all over the world come to venerate Saint Sara-la-Noire, or Sara-la-kali, and baptise their children according to the Catholic ritual.
For the festive season, Camargue traditions take centre stage with a bull run by the gardians.
