Traditions of the Camargue
The Camargue is an expansive area of wetlands set between the two arms of the Rhône and the Mediterranean Sea. It is one of France’s least known regions of enormous ecological importance. Its diverse eco-systems and protected areas provide sanctuary to both flora and fauna, including hundreds of species of birds. From Sete, you’ll travel east along the etangs, the salt-water lagoons, to the marshlands where Louis IX established Aigues-Mortes in the 13th century.
