Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer

Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer is best known in Provence for the annual May pilgrimage honoring Saint Sarah at the Church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Mer. Set on the Mediterranean coast in the Camargue, at the Rhône delta, the town is surrounded by salt marshes, lagoons and the pastoral traditions of southern France. Its fortified Romanesque church is central to local identity, while the Roma pilgrimage brings a major religious gathering to the streets and beach each spring. Flamingos, Camargue horses and bulls are closely linked with the wetlands nearby, within the Camargue Regional Natural Park.
