Camarga in the Occitan language. It
is a wet area, dotted with ponds, sand
and rice fields, interspersed with typi-
cal farmhouses and frequently lashed
by the characteristic wind, the Mi-
stral. Here nature is wild, and limited
by human presence. So also the cha-
racteristic and identifying elements
change: the magnificent white horses
(the Camargue) that live in the wild,
the bulls that graze on the moor, the
elegant pink flamingos that lounge in
the marshes, represent the icons of the
Camargue, wonderfully set in its sce-
nery panoramic.
