The light is exceptionally bright, and its landscapes are wonderfully varied: from rocky inlets with their parasol pines and turquoise water to the Camargue plain, from the Vaucluse vineyards to the summits of the southernmost Alps or the plateaux of Haute-Provence with their scents of thyme and lavender. Just south of Arles is the meeting place of the Rhône and the Mediterranean. A natural and protected park of the Camargue, composed of vast plains of wetlands, ponds and rice paddies and its natural inhabitants the pink flamingoes, herons and cormorants.
