Local products, jams, pancakes, crêpes and homemade cakes, sweet and savoury: generous and beautifully prepared every morning.

Pool & garden

Our large saltwater pool is the beating heart of the hotel in summer. Surrounded by bougainvillea and oleanders, it overlooks a garden where the ducks from the pond sometimes come to visit. Sun loungers, pool bar and a seaside vibe… without leaving the hotel.

Fully comfortable rooms

Spacious and bright, excellent bedding, air conditioning, private terrace and impeccable cleanliness (linen changed daily).

The thoughtful touches

Bottles of water and a bag of Camargue salt offered on departure, bike rental and tailored advice for your nature outings.

Bar & Dining

Have a drink, treat yourself

At La Tramontane, the good times begin at the bar. Your choice: a glass of Camargue rosé on the terrace at golden hour, a cocktail with your feet in the grass, or our pride and joy — the organic blonde beer brewed with Camargue rice, a local discovery not to be missed.

Every morning, our homemade buffet awaits you: artisan jams, pancakes, crêpes, cake of the day, charcuterie, cheeses, fresh fruit juices. Our guests call it the "best hotel breakfast" they have ever had. We won't argue.

  • Gourmet breaks, lunches & cocktails on site
  • On-site accommodation for your team
  • Team-building in the Camargue: horses, safari, cycling
