Scamandre
Monday, March 16, 2009
And yet another one of the Camargue, in other words a photo that dates from this past Saturday. This is the entrance to the nature reserve of Scamandre (“Scamander” in English; I had to look it up, so you can, too), a beautiful area of some 215 hectares (531 acres) where one follows the very well marked “sentier de la fromagère”, the [female] cheese maker’s footpath. Apparently, it is so named because there used to be sheep around here. If true, they must have been the aquatic kind is all I have to say. On the way, one can see all kinds of wildlife (real and not so real -- don’t ask) as well as absolutely gorgeous landscapes. Several photos of this reserve will soon be posted on my main web site; it’s just a matter of a few days now. Patience...
