At the tip of the Rhone River Delta the land flattens and
becomes the sandy desert and grassland of the Camargue.
Caravans arrive during mid May for a long summer visit to
the vast beach lands.   Wild camping is allowed at two
beaches and the vacationers of Europe take to the roads
and set up summer quarters in the wilds of the Camargue.
Plage Piemanson and Plage Beauduc offer self contained
camping, RV or tent.  No facilities other then rubbish
containers. ,
An Aire de service is available at Port
Saint Louis where huge tracts of flat land
planted in rice and very few trees make an
ideal area for the generation of electricity
by wind.
The estuarine flats and shallow lakes of the Camargue attract
Flamingos and dozens of other species.  400 birds species
visit the Camargue

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
and not a bad bit of insurance against running into trouble while driving in Europe.
