France is a country of great contrasts and varied habitats and was the focus for six Wild Wonders missions. Theo Allofs (Germany) visited the Camargue for its flamingos and wild horses; Frank Krahmer (Germany) captured atmospheric landscapes of Mont Blanc and its spectacular Alpine landscapes; Ingo Arndt (Germany) tracked down the elusive mouflon in the Haut-Languedoc National Park; Verena Popp-Hackner (Austria) shot the dramatic mountains and waterfalls of the Pyrenees; Niall Benvie (UK) produced delicate studies of mountain flowers and insects; and Linda Pitkin (UK) explored the underwater world around Corsica, including encounters with giant groupers.
