The month: Aoril
The man: Eric Coulet
The place: The Camargue
At 23, Eric Coulet was the youngest-ever director of a nature reserve in France. Ten years later, he is still obsessed with the Camargue - the marshy wilderness of the Rhone delta with its pink flamingos, white horses and black bulls. Only man, he says, is a stranger.
In protecting nature Eric is also ensuring the survival of his neighbours and friends - the horsemen of the Camargue, whose traditional way of life centres on the Provencal bullfight: the bloodless course d la cocarde.
