After all the climbing in Annot we felt we deserved a little
rest and what better than chilling out on the beach. Our friends had told us about their stay in
La Camargue which sounded lovely and we weren’t disappointed!
As we drove down the road among the salty mud flats it wasn’t
long before we were greeted with all the sights that the Camargue is famous
for. White horses (we didn’t see any wild
ones on the drive in but we did see a large herd on the drive out!), the black
bulls and flamingos! Not a sight I
expected to see in Europe.

We seemed to
be stopping every 50m to take a photo of something.

We soon arrived at the end of the road and onto the beach –
we parked up on the beach with awesome 360 degrees view of the sea, beach and
wild life; we quickly settled in for the evening drinking a beer, watching the
sun set over the sea and dipping our toes into the pleasantly warm sea.
The next morning we watched the sun rise with coffee and croissants
in bed and went for a walk along the beach.
It was pretty much deserted and so wasn’t long before we went in for a
quick dip!
We left later that day to arrive in Toulouse before the
Friday rush hour – a short but very lovely stay. Spotting loads of wild life on the road out once
again. Unfortunately no pictures but we
did see some White Storks, Little Egrets and possible the Purple Heron! Also a
couple of Muskrats.
