Camargue camping can
be luxurious or rustic.
The northern parts of the
Camargue are flat delta
grasslands. In the south, at
the tip of the Rhone River
Delta, the land flattens and
becomes the sandy desert of
the Camargue.
Caravans, as the camping
vehicle is called, arrive at the
tip of the delta during mid
June for a long summer visit.

campgrounds with pool and
all the amenities, while others
head for the sandy spit at the

Do You need an International Driving Permit to drive in Europe.
In France and Italy you can rent a car and do not need to show an International Permit, only your drivers
license from your home country and perhaps your passport. Italian law requires that you carry an IDP as does
Spain, Portugal, Greece, and several of the former Soviet Union countries. The International driver's permit is
issued by the American Automobile Association AAA in the States and the CAA in Canada. The cost is $15
and not a bad bit of insurance against running into trouble while driving in Europe.
