In South France, nested between the Rhone Delta and the Mediterranean Sea, is the Far West of Provence. How did Buffalo Bill and Sioux chiefs inspire southern French cowboys? Why do gypsies from all Europe converge once a year to this place? What is this game that looks like a Spanish corrida? Come discover and discuss the story, traditions, and gastronomy of a region full of surprises: Camargue!
