We didn’t see those colors when we were there but enjoyed our day anyway. The light here is so lovely.

Debbie, It may be early and I’m not quite awake yet, but what is a Camargue gardian? Is Carmargue a country? Lovely lovely colors like the others have said! Cady

  Yes, as Sue says, it’s in southern France, in Provence, and it’s known for its white horses. Les gardians look after the horses.

  Definitely put on your list, Brian. There’s plenty of birdlife too. In fact, it’s not very obvious but all those shapes in the water are flamingos.
