Driving from Arles we crossed right through the middle of The Camargue, the flat land and marshes at the delta of the Rhône River. The area is famous for wild horses, buffalo and flamingoes. Aigues-Mortes is a very picturesque walled town along the way. Its name means “dead waters”; it used to be a crusader port, but it is now 10km inland as the sea has retreated!! It is still accessible by a network of canals and is very popular with boaties, cyclists and a squillion tourists.

 Not allowed to show the rest of the horse – being free on The Camargue made him far too happy |  | .jpg "063b (800x659)") | %5B1%5D.jpg "103 b (710x800)") |
