Oh my giddy France

Chloe Govan goes on a river cruise and finds Camargue a wild and wonderful ride

- 

From a neon-pink salt lake that looked like it belonged in the Barbie movie to an unconventional cattle ranch where bulls double as cowboys' family pets, my trip with Le Boat was no ordinary cruise.

Having boarded our vessel, the five-bedroom Horizon 5, in St Gilles, a gorgeous old town on the Rhone-Sete Canal, we glided off on an adventure of discovery.

I'd visited Camargue in the South of France before, but had never experienced it from the top deck of a self-drive riverboat, the water beneath glittering brightly as it reflected the sun.
