 | | The Camargue, a startlingly luminous and untamed swath of countryside in Provence's deep southwest, has always been remarkable for its roaming herds of fl bulls, gypsy caravans, flocks of pink flamingos in the marshes, and muscular white horses mounted by brightly clad cowboys. |
 | | Set on a farm that extends over 320 acres and produces rice, lentils, and hard wheat, La Chassagnette is the dream of Maja Hoffmann, a member of the Swiss pharmaceutical (Hoffmann-LaRoche) family, and her American husband, Stanley Buchthal, who bought the property and the nearby Renaissance Château l'Armelière several years ago. |
