Camargue horses, also known as the White Horses of the Sea, are iconic of the south of France. Capturing them in frames is a dream for equine photographers from across the world. If this is also your dream that you would like to fulfill, you are more than welcome to join me during this exclusive Equine Photography Tour in Camargue.

Unique photography opportunities
During our 4-day stay in the vast area of Rhone River backwaters, we will focus on capturing groups of horses splashing in the shallow waters of marshes as well as jumping through the waves of the Mediterranean Sea. In addition to the herds of horses galloping in the wild, one of our sessions will enchant us with the dynamics of two stallions dancing together.
Participation in this event is a great chance for hobbyists and experienced photographers to stretch their artistic abilities and capture hundreds (or perhaps thousands) of images of the iconic white horses of Camargue!
This tour is an exclusive and intensive program that provides a great opportunity to build your own portfolio, capture one-of-a-kind frames, and improve your photography skills through the many opportunities that we will provide you with! All this was combined with a pleasant atmosphere and lots of fun within the small group.
 

Your stay
Our guests will be accommodated in private rooms at Le Mas de Cocagne. An outdoor swimming pool and a garden will be at the participants disposal. The hotel is located at the entrance of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, just 800 meters from the sandy beaches and the town center.
During the shared meals, our guests will have the opportunity to taste local flavors that will make them fall in love with French cuisine.
 

Additional attractions
When visiting Camargue’s Regional Natural Park, we cannot deny ourselves a few additional attractions. We will take our group to Parc Ornithologique, where numerous species of phenomenal birds reside.
France is famous for its excellent wines, which is why our guests will be invited for a wine tasting in one of the local family vineyards.
During our stay in the area, for those who are interested, it will be possible to explore the surroundings of the natural park from horseback (an additional fee will apply).
