Camargue - Irrigation Canal from the 1500's


The Camargue area of Provence is the river delta of the Rhone River.  It is a flat area.  Rice is grown there since World War II, but it has always been an important agricultural area due to the richness of the land, which is river silt deposited by the Rhone River through the ages.  This irrigation canal was dug in the 1500's.
