The Camargue is a vast wetland which includes ancient salt pans, huge expanses of river delta, inland salt-water lakes, and reed beds.

Ray travels to meet the French cowboys – the ‘guardians’ who’ve made it their home. He meets the beautiful white Camargue horses the cowboys ride and watches as they use their skills to round up some powerful Camargue bulls.

Ray visits the salt pans to discover how the salt influences the ecology of the area before heading off to meet some of the region’s most famous residents, the flamingos.
