Stes. Maries de la Mer in Winter

Stes. Maries de la Mer
No leaves on the trees, few tourists . . . but there were lots of local folks out walking their dogs and shopping in the village. We were also able to walk the beach with only a few local people and their dogs for company. It was lovely.

We thoroughly enjoy the Camargue in summer but early winter has its advantages!

Lunch . . .

Could any food possibly taste bad in a setting like this?
A Ragondin

The elusive Ragondin

I think this is called a muskrat in the USA although I've never found ragondin in a French dictionary to check it. They are supposed to be an introduced pest but they're awfully cute. They live in the water so when you see them, they are always dripping wet and they're shy enough not to seem threatening. We've not seen them in the summer but in the autumn we saw quite a few.

I suppose flamingo, swan or egret pictures would be prettier but everyone has those and they are lovely . . . but this guy is sooooo cute.
