12th September 2024

R said it rained hard during the night. I had slept solidly throughout, so thought the rain had stayed away. We walked into town and wandered around the shops. Decided to go on the ‘train trip’ at 2.30.  So bought some sandwiches and watched the gulls.  The youngsters being persistent beggars.

At 2.00 the queue for the train trip was already there, we joined and got a place on the ‘train’.  It was a 45 minute trip showing some of the town  and the surrounding areas.  First it took in the East side, showing us the area where the cattle were branded.  Then it went to the west, down the road we drove in on. Eventually it cut across to the West, towards the Little Rhone.  We passed by the traditional thatched houses. Stopped to pat and stroke the beautiful white Camargue horses.   The houses in the area here looked to be quite prosperous, nice looking nearby restaurant.

Back to the town, following the road from the Little Rhone, and past the marina. Yes, it was a tourist trip, but it was interesting and showed us a side of the Camargue we had not known about or seen.

Back to the campsite, where we had supper, and it was very cold and windy.
