Last cycle through the Camargue

We are heading north in a couple of days, so we headed south to cycle through the Camargue one last time.  Today's ride went to Mejane.  Along the way we saw the chevaux blancs (white horses), taureaux (bulls), and flamingoes that we expect to encounter down there.

But today, we also met three horse carts driven by Gitans (Gypsies).  We have seen horse-drawn wagons occasionally, but this was the first time that we ever saw horse carts.

Great day to be in the Camargue.
