Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, the 'Saint Marys of the Sea,' is a small fishing village located on the South Central coast of Mediterranean France in the Camargue region of Bouches-du-Rhone. Lying around 45km from Arles, this overgrown village and tourist resort has a population of around 2,000 and acts as a port on the Petit Rhone. The Camargue in general and Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer in particular are associated with the Roma (Gypsies, French Gitans).
