) is unlike any other area of Provence. It's all about nature here: cycle
through salt marshes, spend a couple of hours birdwatching, canoe down the Petit Rhône,
or go horse-riding along the beach in the setting sun. The Camargue is also where former
Spanish influences over Provence are most keenly felt: to wit, the
gitan
festivities of May
and October, bullfights and Camargue's red rice.
