The Camargue Regional Park  One of the many Unesco world heritage sites in Provence, the Camargue is a huge area (about 350,000 acres) of wetlands, pastures and salt flats formed by the delta of the Rhône river.  The region has a unique ecological balance and is home to many pink flamingoes.  In the grassy pastures you will find sheep and small white horses grazing, these are ridden in the area by "gardians" a traditional part of the local community.  For more information visit the official website (french only) of the Parc Naturel Régional de Camargue.
