Ooh, l'amour de Camargue! Oui! ***

Fed up with the Shmoozefest and itching to hit the road again, we took the lil' Citroen to explore the Camargue, a national park region south of the village on the Mediterranean. It is said that our American West cowboys took everything from the farmers of this region, a swampy marshland known for it's bullfighting, flamingos, salt flats and wild white horses. The horses are brown as foals and lighten with maturity, only to create endless vistas of a dreamy strange outpost of natural beauty. The focal center is Ste. Marie de la Mer, a fishing beach town with an ancient church in the center, a testament to local mythic lore!
