The Rhone River spills out of southern France in a patchwork of varying grades of wet. Western Europe's largest river delta, the Camargue, is most famous for flamingoes, the Camargue bull and the lovely white Camargue horse, but my personal favourite was the underrated fish soup.
The town of Saintes Maries de la Mer is believed to be the landing site of the three Mary´s (Mary Magdalene, Mary Salome and Mary Jacobe) who set sail some time after witnessing the resurrection of Christ (Happy Easter). The normally quiet town is quite the opposite when gypsies from all over Europe arrive for the annual pilgrimage to worship Saint Sarah, the servant of the many Mary´s.
