A small group of us were on a Rhone riverboat cruise, and we didn’t feel up to taking the cruise’s all-day bus tour of the Camargue area with lots of walking and standing (in my case I had a badly sprained ankle). So we booked a four hour 4X4 with an English-speaking driver/guide. Everything was fabulous, especially our very knowledgable guide, Flavio. Except for the stop in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer we were able to avoid all the crowded tourist stops, travel the back roads (many of which were dirt roads) to see and learn about the many farms, ranches, estuaries, ponds, lakes, marshes, rice paddies, and animals without having to take lengthy walks.
