The Camargue

You know you are in France when....

you see "Baguette" passing you by on the road...

well, we headed down the the Mediterranean Sea....

Sandy beaches, blue skies...

And the marshlands of Camargue with it's native ancient breed of horses:

Named after the place itself:

The Camargue horse

And it's traditional bulls

But before we go there, let's stop in ARLES

It was here in Arles, 

where Vincent Van Gogh painted his famous 

"Cafe Terasse at night"

Roman footprints in Arles:

dating back to the first century BC

Charming, narrow streets with non-existent side-walks

After a day of sight-seeing, we drove back to the coast

And after watching the horses running through the streets we were up for our very own horse adventure:

Exploring these beautiful marshlands

with it's pink flamingos

the best possible way:
On horseback

We made some friends along the way and hope to see them in Canada some day:
Hanne and Mauro from Belgium

we had SO MUCH FUN

Gorgeous landscapes

I think Steve could get used to this...

Riding along the ocean shores into the sunset

I don't think there could be any better ending to a perfect trip :)
