BARGING THROUGH FRANCE - PT 25 - LA CAMARGUE

Richard Goodwin continues his Adventure across France. The Camargue is a huge flat area situated in the Rhone delta between the two branches that the river makes on it's way to the Mediterranean. I visited two industries in the marshy area which interested me very much. The first one is the reed gathering trade. I saw how they cut reeds by hand and later I get to ride on and enormous machine specially constructed for the purpose. It has hugely wide tyres so that it can glide over the marshy areas where the reeds grow.  Reeds are used in very many different ways that I found very interesting. I then go out fishing with a professional fisherman who fishes in the shallow lakes of the Camargue. It was a very fascinating day, watching him manage his nets and land his eels, carp etc. He is a very good communicator and explains a good deal about the habits of eels who change from salt water to fresh water and back again on their way to the Sargasso Sea to breed.     They say that the famous wild horses of the Camargue were a gift from Neptune but others say they came from the steppes of Central Asia. They are a really tough breed and they never come into the stables even when they give birth. They are sold all over Europe but they should be seen in a herd as they are here in this film.
