LA Croix de Camargue

La Croix de Camargue is the symbol of the area. It is located on the side of the road towards Aigues-Mortes. It symbolizes the three theological virtues and associates the two components of the people of Saintes Maries de la Mer :

- The Cross for Faith 
- Anchor for Hope 
- The heart for charity

A Legacy

Share in the passion of the Provençal culture. The Camargue has given Provence its most wonderful traditions. It's not surprising that the maiden voyage of Mireille, imagined by Frédéric Mistral, ended in Saintes Maries de la Mer. The costumes, gardians,Camargue races and abrivados... set the pace for the year in this village. This surprising vitality is expressed in the haert-felt wish to have averyone who comes here discover and share in these traditions
