in Beaucaire

On the right bank of the Rhône, opposite Tarascon, Beaucaire is set in a landscape where Provençal, Camargue, and Languedoc influences meet. An old trading town marked by its river port and historic fair, it retains an ancient centre dominated by its medieval castle and narrow streets. Around it, the roads quickly open up to highly contrasting landscapes, between agricultural plains, scrubland, and the first foothills of the Alpilles. For cycling, Beaucaire occupies a strategic position between the Camargue, the Gard Rhodanien region, and the inland Provence.
