The symbolism of the Camargue Cross is deeply rooted in the history and culture of the eponymous region. Here are some of the meanings attributed to it:

  1. Christianity : The Camargue Cross is based on the Latin cross, a Christian symbol representing the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. As such, it evokes the Christian faith and values in the region.

  2. Local Roots : The Camargue Cross is specific to the Camargue region, making it a symbol of local identity and regional pride. It is often used to represent the close connection between the people of Camargue and their land.

  3. Nature and environment : The shape of the cross, with its arms reminiscent of the arms of a bird in flight, can be interpreted as a tribute to the unique flora and fauna of the Camargue region, notably its wild birds and horses.

  4. Traditions and culture : The Camargue Cross is associated with various traditions and cultural practices of the region, such as the Camargue race and bullfighting. It thus symbolises the ancient customs and living heritage of the Camargue.

  5. Protection and blessing : Like any religious symbol, the Camargue Cross is sometimes seen as a talisman of protection or an object carrying blessings, bringing security and prosperity to those who wear or display it.

These meanings can vary from one person to another and are often enriched by the individual and collective experiences of the inhabitants of the Camargue region.
