This is the view of the Mediterranean Sea in the city of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. It was taken from the rooftop of an old church. Apparently, this is a famous vantage point, as people have been climbing atop this church roof for ages to see this view. It's a little dangerous and you'd never be able to get insurance if you allowed visitors to do this in the US.
Here's a shot of the famous wild white horses of the Camargue region, along the southern coast. They are stocky and beautiful.
We took a short boat tour down the Rhone River out of Arles. I love this beautiful old mill (vieux moulin), now functioning as a dining & drinking establishment (guinguette).
Here's a shot of the beautiful ochre cliffs of Roussillon. Dyes are made from the ochre deposits, which are mined here. I got my sister some to create paint for her artwork!
thanks for finally getting around to this, and thanks for the ochres as well.
