The Camargue:
The Camargue is located south of
Arles,
France, between the
Mediterranean Sea and the two arms of the
River Rhône delta.
With an area of over 930 km² (360 sq. miles), the Camargue is western Europe's largest river delta (technically an island, as it is wholly surrounded by water). It is a vast plain comprising large
brine lagoons or étangs, cut off from the sea by sandbars and encircled by
reed-covered
marshes which are in turn surrounded by a large cultivated area.
Approximately a third of the Camargue is either lakes or marshland.
The Camargue is home to more than 400 species of birds, the brine ponds providing one of the few European habitats for the
greater flamingo. The marshes are also a prime habitat for many species of insects, notably (and notoriously) some of the most ferocious
mosquitos to be found anywhere in France. Camargue is also famous for
wild bulls and
horses.
Humans have lived in the Camargue for centuries, greatly affecting it with drainage schemes,
dykes,
rice paddies and
salt pans. Much of the outer Camargue has been drained for agricultural purposes. The Camargue has its own eponymous
horse breed, the famous white Camaguais ridden by the
gardians who rear the region's
fighting bulls for export to
Spain.

I bolded the possible team names.
For you heroic fantasy readers out there, if you've ever read the Hawkmoon series by Michael Moorcock (sp?), Hawkmoon's friend and father in law, Count Brass is count of the Camargue (spelled Kamarg in the book) and his castle is situated in Aigues-Mortes, a medieval walled city about 10 miles from where I live.
