The Camargue is a region formed around the river delta of the Rhone river. Consequently it is very flat, very marshy and windswept. It is a big area for cattle farming and also traditionaly bull fighting. These are the special white Camargue houses. We are in the seaside town of Saintes-Maries de-la-Mer. This is the main church which is built like a fortified castle because in the old days they were regularly raided by pirates. There is a very strong Spanish influence here. Every restaurant in town features paella on their menu.
