  • MARSEILLE, FRANCE Arrive: 0800 Saturday, 03 August Onboard: 1800 Monday, 05 August
    MARSEILLE, FRANCE Arrive: 0800 Saturday, 03 August Onboard: 1800 Monday, 05 August Brief Overview: Marseille is the second largest city in France, after Paris, with a metropolitan population of roughly 1.6 million people. It is the largest French city on the Mediterranean coast as well as France’s largest commercial port. The city is a melting pot of cultures, with large immigrant populations from both Italy and the Maghreb countries, including Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Liberia and Mauritania. Make sure to see the mix of cultures that this city offers by visiting its street markets and bazaars, including the famous fish market located on the docks of the Vieux Port (Old Port). Try some of the local fish stew, bouillabaisse, at a local restaurant or take a beach break at one of its rocky inlets. 2013 will also be an exciting year for Marseille, as it hosts both European Capital of Culture celebrations and Europride, a LGBT-focused festival, this summer. Nearby towns: Arles: Roman history meets modern life in this French town. With more Roman monuments than anywhere else besides Rome itself, this town allows you to see history come alive. Take in some of the UNESCO World Heritage sites or discover the town’s Roman amphitheater. See the history for yourself with MAR 104-201 “Roman Culture and Ranch Life in Arles and Camargue area.” Cassis: A small town known for its vineyards and white wine, this small town provides a respite from city life. Explore the ruins of a medieval castle or take in the view of a picture- perfect fishing village nestled along breathtaking cliffs and inlets.

  • One Particular Anaplasma Phagocytophilum Ecotype Infects
    Dugat et al. Parasites & Vectors (2017) 10:371 DOI 10.1186/s13071-017-2305-3 RESEARCH Open Access One particular Anaplasma phagocytophilum ecotype infects cattle in the Camargue, France Thibaud Dugat1, Agnès Leblond2,3, Nicolas Keck4, Anne-Claire Lagrée5, Isabelle Desjardins3, Aurélien Joulié2,3, Sophie Pradier6, Benoit Durand7, Henri-Jean Boulouis5 and Nadia Haddad5* Abstract Background: Anaplasma phagocytophilum is a zoonotic tick-borne pathogen responsible for granulocytic anaplasmosis, a mild to a severe febrile disease that affects man and several animal species, including cows and horses. In Europe, I. ricinus is the only proven vector for this pathogen, but studies suggest that other tick genera and species could be involved in its transmission. Our objective was to assess the presence and genetic diversity of A. phagocytophilum in domestic animals and different tick species from the Camargue region, located in the south of France. Methods: A total of 140 ticks and blood samples from 998 cattle and 337 horses were collected in Camargue and tested for the presence of A. phagocytophilum DNA by msp2 quantitative real-time PCR. Molecular typing with four markers was performed on positive samples. Results: Anaplasma phagocytophilum DNA was detected in 6/993 (0.6%) cows, 1/20 (5%) Haemaphysalis punctata, 1/57 (1.75%) Rhipicephalus pusillus, and was absent in horses (0%). All cattle A. phagocytophilum presented a profile identical to an A. phagocytophilum variant previously detected in Dermacentor marginatus, Hyalomma marginatum, and Rhipicephalus spp. in Camargue. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that one particular A. phagocytophilum variant infects cattle in Camargue, where I. ricinus is supposed to be rare or even absent.

  • Mas De Valériole
    Mas de Valériole Just upstream of the ancient city of Arles, the mighty Rhône river abruptly forks, and its resultant two arms—the southeasterly-flow- ing Grand Rhône and the southwesterly-flowing Petit Rhône—encircle the Camargue, the largest river delta in western Europe. The Camargue, renowned for salt from vast marshes that hug the Mediterranean and deeply nutty wild rice, produces soulful, acclaimed Provençal wines. Just ten miles due south of Arles, the Michel family stewards the lovely Mas de Valériole, a 45-ha estate founded in the early 15th century and purchased by the Michels in the late 1950’s. Brothers Jean-Paul and Patrick Michel focused their energies on improving the estate’s wines, adopting organic viticultural practices in 2006 (certified today) and refining their approach in the cellar; today, the next generation is beginning to assume greater responsibilities, and there are exciting projects in the pipeline here. Mas de Valériole’s vineyards, which today comprise 32 of their 45 hectares, encompass a variety of soil types: sand, clay, limestone, and alluvial loam deposited by the Grand Rhône. A reliably steady wind blowing in from the Mediterranean mitigates the Provence heat, facilitating their chemical-free approach to farming and ensuring modest alcohol levels for the wines. Produced from a variety of cépages, including Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, plus crossings like Caladoc (Grenache and Malbec) and Marselan (Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon) which are particularly well-suited to the Camargue’s climate, Mas de Valériole’s wines combine the breezy freshness one expects from Provence with a sense of wildness and an underlying salinity that is very Camarguais.
