We thoroughly enjoyed our day visiting the Camargue and Aigue-Mortes with David. It included a very interesting tour on a mini train through the salt marshes (it was an overcast day with high winds so dress appropriately). Also a great walk along the waterways to view the flamingoes. At several points along the journey we saw the wild Camargue horses. Money well spent.
