![]() The early morning light in July is strong and produces strong colours. The beaches are wide and long, so also during the peak season they are never really crowed despite of thousands of tourists. The Camargue is located south of Arles, France, between the Mediterranean Sea and the two arms of the Rhône River delta. The eastern arm is called the Grand Rhône; the western one is the Petit Rhône. The Camargue is home to more than 400 species of birds; its brine ponds provide one of the few European habitats for the greater flamingo. The marshes are also a prime habitat for many species of insects, notably (and notoriously) some of the most ferocious mosquito's to be found anywhere in France. It is also famous for the Camargue Bull and the Camargue Horse. The flora of the Camargue is specially adapted to cope with the saline conditions. Sea lavender and glasswort flourish, along with tamarisks and reeds. Officially established as a regional park and nature reserve in 1970, the Parc Naturel Régional de Camargue covers 820 km² that are some of the wildest and most protected in all of Europe. contact me for more photos or download from Teamwork-Press Comments are closed.
