Should I brave a crowded fest?
I'm planning a trip through Provence in May, and based on many Fodorite comments I hoped to visit the Camargue on my way from Arles to Montpellier. I was going to drive through on Monday, May 23, until I discovered the annual Gypsy pilgrimage occurs on the 24th and 25th. Yikes! Thousands of people will descend on the peaceful nature preserve I envisioned -- but I must admit, it sounds like a really interesting event. Do you think I should give it a try, or possibly wait until the festival is over on the 26th? Thanks!

I think if you have taken your vitamins and your energy shake you should go for it. I really liked Ste Marie de la Mar when it wasn't crowded but I can hardly imagine the scene during a Gypsy pilgrimage. (leave your purse at the hotel!)
Better yet, judge when you get there re traffic, etc.
