Saturday



We went on a butterfly tour this morning. It was put on by the centre we're staying at for locals to attend. This meant it was all in French so Tim and I walked along side oohing and ahhing appropriately at the 8 species they caught (and released) but otherwise we didn't really have a clue what was going on!

In the afternnon we went horse riding in the Camargue which was brilliant! We went through poppy fields, pass the bull fighting bulls grazing in fields and alongside the Rhone. We then went to the seaside resort of Les Stes-Maries de la Mer which has a very Spanish flavour with bull fighting rings and flamenco dancing posters. We saw pink flamengos wild, and had a brief look at the local church. This is a pilgrimage sight thought to be the landing site of St. Sarah, Mary Magdalene, Mary Jacob & Mary Salome after fleeing the Holy Land.
