The horses of the Camargue are not
completely wild but they do roam free and
breed in the wild. The horsemen and women of
the Camargue harvest them regularly for saddle
horses. They are gentle and they do like people

The Camargue cottage is unique, a
stucco and thatch dwelling that hints at
a Celtic heritage with a north African
influence
At the tip of the Rhone River
Delta the land flattens and
becomes the sandy desert of
the Camargue. Caravans
arrive during mid June for a
long summer visit in a vast
unregulated campout. The
Gypsy blood kicks in and the
vagabonds of Europe take to
the roads and set up summer
quarters in the wilds of the
Camargue.
With huge tracts of flat land planted in rice, the Camargue is ideal for
the generation of electricity by wind.
The estuarine flats of the Camargue attract Flamingos
and dozens of other species.
