Camargue, Provence.  The South of France RV Camping
Camargue Camping, A Unique Lifestyle On the Rhone River Delta
In July and August France Seems to Tilt
Sideways and everybody tumbles one
way or another to the South.
The horses of the Camargue are not completely wild
but they do roam free and breed in the wild. The
horsemen and women of the Camargue harvest them
regularly for saddle horses. They are gentle and they
do like people

The Camargue cottage is unique, a
stucco and thatch dwelling that hints at
a Celtic heritage with a north African
influence
At the tip of the Rhone River Delta the land flattens and
becomes the sandy desert of the Camargue. Caravans
arrive during mid June for a long summer visit in a vast
unregulated campout. The Gypsy blood kicks in and the
vagabonds of Europe take to the roads and set up
summer quarters in the wilds of the Camargue.
With huge tracts of flat land planted in rice the Camargue is a
ideal for the generation of electricity by wind.
The estuarine flats of the Camargue attract Flamingos and
dozens of other species.  400 birds species visit the Camargue

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.
