Arvo is in the same area - "Camargue" (map, info viewtopic.php?p=52435#p52435)
Arvo is moving in the Camargue area since 28.09 - marshes and (harvested) rice fields with irrigation canals

-----
The rice is harvested from mid-September to the end of October. The paddy fields are drained to allow harvesters, equipped with caterpillar tracks to collect the rice, and transport it to nearby silos. ... During the rest of autumn and winter, each field is dried and levelled with the aid of a laser-guided blade as the surface must be as flat as possible. Canals and drains are repaired.
