Jena Hovor

My name is Jena Hovor. I found myself in France in 2010 after graduating from journalism school, when I decided to take a short break before starting my career. What was supposed to be a three-month trip turned into my destiny and a lifelong passion. France captivated me with its incredible diversity: from the lavender fields of Provence to the majestic cliffs of Étretat, from the snow-capped peaks of the Alps to the sandy beaches of the French Riviera. Each region revealed a new facet of the French soul – the gastronomic abundance of Burgundy, the architectural heritage of Alsace, the wild beauty of Corsica, and the mysterious Brittany with its Celtic roots. Over 14 years, I've cycled more than 15,000 kilometers on French roads, explored all 13 metropolitan regions and overseas territories. I've created over 170 original routes, many of which pass through authentic villages and secret places known only to locals. I speak French, English, and Russian fluently, and have mastered the Provençal dialect. I still discover new corners of this amazing country every day. I am convinced that the real France lives not only in Paris and famous tourist spots, but also in small family wineries, local farmers' markets, and ancient castles hidden among vineyards.

Camargue Highlights

Bird Watching and Wildlife
More than 300 bird species can be observed, including pink flamingos (the only place in France where flamingos nest), herons, and ibis. The Pont des Gault Ornithological Park is perfect for photographers and wildlife enthusiasts, who can get up close to these birds from observation towers and themed trails.

Camargue Horses and Bulls
Known for its iconic white horses and black bulls, the park offers a glimpse into the traditional way of raising livestock in the Camargue. The manades (herds) roam freely, and in some areas, visitors can even ride these famous horses and watch unique local bullfights where the bullfighter pulls a tuft from the bull’s horns.

Salt Marshes and Sansouïres
The Camargue is famous for its salt marshes and sansouïres (salt plains), which create a landscape unique to the region. Visitors can explore these areas on foot or by bicycle along designated trails, experiencing the natural beauty and tranquility of the region.
