Mas de la Fouque is located at 3 Km away from Saintes Maries de la Mer, a lovely fishing port. The village of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer is the genuine capital of the Camargue, with welcoming inhabitants, shopping streets, gipsy parties, and unique nature and protected beaches. A place worth visiting, with a beautiful church, which dominates the village and is visible from 10 kms away. Built near the mouth of the Petit Rhône, the church was thus in an extremely important strategic position as, at the time of its construction (9th to 11th centuries), pirates were rife on the coast and the population had to defend themselves against raids by Saracens and Arabs.
