Carmargue

Many building walls are defaced with much graffiti
Plus scarce parking ensures we miss any large city.
Transversing further afield around high granite massifs
Avoiding toll roads with their ever increasing tariffs.

Roman engineering with amazing ability to road plan.
Is often viewed via aqueducts and bridges that span
Over dry creek beds and rapid flowing river courses
Like the Rhone and Ardeche, cool from alpine sources.

The Carmargue was a delight and an area so nice
Flat wetlands perfect for growing red & black rice.
Brilliant expanse of pink salt lakes in Aigues-Mortes.
Flocks of flamingos and herds of wild white horses

Troglodyte homes of St.Chamas built into the cliff face
Beautiful bays of Cassis and harbour, a must see place.
For stunning picturesque views Cape Canalli you ascend
Our wonderful month in Provence now sadly has to end.Read more
