Saintes Maries de la Mer en Camargue

Late may (yes I know I'm almost 2 month behind), anyway we decided to go south exploring the Camargue area staying in the small and cosy coastal town Saintes Maries de la Mer.

For some reasons the town is a popular destination for gypsies and almost in every corner of the town there is a guy playing Gipsy Kings songs or at least the songs they were playing sounded very familiar to Gipsy Kings.

Some other notable events that took place while were there except watching flamingos and white horses (they were everywhere) was watching a bull fight. Well it wasn't a classical bull fight killing the bull in the end, it was more of playing session pulling a razor between the antlers.

And not to forget, the huge beaches that surrounded the village the sea temperature was well above 20 as well. Quite nice when coming from Grenoble where the weather hasn't been that good (note that this was in May, weather for the last 4 weeks has been really good with degrees above 30 every day).
