It now holds the Camargue between its two branches: the Grand Rh\u00f4ne to the east and the Petit Rh\u00f4ne to the west. The 150,000-hectare triangle includes the towns of Arles, Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer and Port Saint-Louis du Rh\u00f4ne and is watched over by the Camargue Regional Natural Park. It\u2019s a necessary watch to preserve a treasure of biodiversity, an exceptional habitat for <a href=\"https:\/\/destination-camargue.fr\/en\/life-size-provence\/nature-and-biodiversity\/\">fauna and flora<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also a very rich culture. Between the two branches of the Rh\u00f4ne, the Camargue is an island that brings together its inhabitants around the same identity: they are above all <em>Camarguais<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a story of tenacious men, who have taken control of the waters and made this place habitable and fertile. The ecological functioning of the delta is inextricably linked to the economic activities which the people of Camargue have adapted to the environment: rice, salt, breeding of bulls and horses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These activities are the basis of the cultural identity of the Camargue. People gather at&nbsp; bull races, at work and leisure time with horses and at Provencal folklore and Christian festivals. This way of life attracts more and more visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was Baron Folco de Baroncelli who played an important part in fostering this Camargue identity. A true lover of the Camargue, friend of Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Mistral and co-founder of the <em>F\u00e9librige<\/em>, he codified the traditions that the <em>Camarguais <\/em>are so proud of today.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"size-full aligncenter\"><a href=https:\/\/destination-camargue.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/8301781-naudot-bd.jpg title=\"\" rel=\"prettyPhoto\"><img src=https:\/\/destination-camargue.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/8301781-naudot-bd.jpg alt=\"Gardian et son cheval, en Camargue\" title=\"8301781-naudot-bd\" class=\"wp-image-241085\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"text-start\"><span>&copy; C.
