Horses of Camargue National Park

Hi, I'm interested in visiting Camargue National Park and see the "running of the horses"? I'm interested in photographing them but can't figure out if it's possible (without a photo tour)?

Can you provide any direction - maybe a company that can take me.

They're in a nature reserve and you can drive through and stop at viewing spots, etc, or go with a guide: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g187211-d657938-Reviews-Camargue_Nature_Park-Arles_Bouches_du_Rhone_Provence_Alpes_Cote_d_Azur.html

If you search this website for Camargue you'll get a few links, here's one: https://community.ricksteves.com/travel-forum/to-the-west/camargue-and-white-horses

I've heard that there are cowboys who drive the horses for those beautiful photos of cantering in the surf. My guess is for that you take a tour.

We went on a Sunday and stopped along the road and Took pictures of the horses,might be easier than a tour if you have a car, you will be able to go at your own Pace.
