This large alluvial plain ,overlaying some 750 km², types a triangle with Arles at its apex and a line alongside the coast from Les Saintes Maries de la Mer to Salins de Giraud forming its base. The Camargue is a combination of atmospheres and cultures, the place folks like to get together. Férias, festivals, pilgrimage, rice competition, horse competition, corsos, corridas, and so forth. There flamenco, gypsies, guitars and the tzigane environment mix with traditions the place bullrings, ranchers and herdsmen seize each alternative to look their finest. The best method to discover the Camargue is on horseback, discovering the remotest corners of this wild and poetic land. It is usually excellent for strolling and biking; there aren’t any hills and practically 20 km of roads are closed to motor automobiles, from Saintes Maries to Salins de Giraud. |
