Discover all the authenticity of the Camargue during a river cruise. Renting a boat without a license is an unusual way to immerse yourself in the culture and rejuvenate amidst the natural elements omnipresent in this region.
Renting a boat to explore the Camargue will provide you with unforgettable memories. Afternoons spent at the beach by the Mediterranean Sea with the children, walks in the regional natural park, visits to the rich heritage of the region – you’ll have a plethora of original ideas for outings and leisure activities to enjoy during your trip in the Gard department in Occitanie. During the summer, the Camargue comes alive with the rhythm of numerous fairs and pilgrimages to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer.
Renting a boat on the Rhône to Sète canal will take you sailing along the Mediterranean Sea, passing through the Camargue, all the way to Beaucaire, traversing the Petite Camargue.
The best way to explore the Camargue is to rent a license-free houseboat to truly immerse yourself in the region during your stay with family or friends. On board your rental barge, you’ll have time to chat, play together, read, and enjoy life by the river. A river cruise is the perfect time to change pace and relax to the gentle sound of water lapping and the song of cicadas, along with the numerous birds that have found refuge in the Camargue Natural Park.
Where to rent your boat ?
To visit the Camargue, whether it’s for a weekend, a mini-week, a week, or longer, head to our license-free boat rental base in Carnon. Carnon is located at the gateway to the Camargue, near Aigues-Mortes, which is just a day’s sail away. Your houseboat vacation will also be an opportunity to enjoy some quality time by the Mediterranean Sea, especially on the renowned beaches of Le Grau-du-Roi.

Great. Unfortunately on the second day, we had trouble managing the boat. We called the support and soon a good technician arrived to solve the problem. Mr Lupato said we probably hit something underwater, damaging our rudder. Then, the navigation continued in a really relaxing and satisfying.

Nous avons été ravis de notre croisière sur le Canal Rhône - Sète le personnel Canalous a été très accueillant très professionnel....Le bateau nous a plu ....Il manque un peu de vaisselle tel qu'une cocote et un grand faitout .... nous recommandons les Canalous aux personnes qui veulent découvrir la Camargue ses étendues d'eaux sa faune, les oiseaux chevaux toros sont magnifiques dans leur éléments qui sont les rizières, les marais Nous avons rencontré des personnes faisant parti de VNF ils ont été très charmant.

Excellent parcours de Colombiers à Homps avec petit "crochet" par les écluses de Fonseranes et le pont-canal sur l'Orb . La variété du parcours (paysages , restos , éclusiers ...) nous a fait oublier une météo plutôt défavorable !

A relaxing 5-day break on the Canal du Midi from Homps to Colombiers and back aboard the Triton 1050 "Sumatra". Calm, a change of scenery, a change of pace, birdsong, discovery stops - a beneficial break!

I really enjoyed the week's stay, but the training time on the handling of the barge seems fair. This one was very comfortable, something to improve: The maintenance of the bikes. But it is in progress. I also need telescopic handles for the moorings. Otherwise, whether at the commercial headquarters or the team at the base in Carcassonne, employees at the top THANKS to you do not change anything !
