At the first Corrida of Vallauris in 1954, a lively crowd fills the rustic wooden stands under the shade of leafy trees. Among the spectators are, from left, Michel Leiris, Françoise Gilot, Claude Picasso, Pablo Picasso, Paul Derigon, the mayor of Vallauris, and Hélène Parmelin. The atmosphere is festive, with pennant flags strung overhead. In the foreground, two ornately embroidered bullfighter's capes, *capotes de paseo*, are draped over the railing, adding a touch of ceremonial color to the scene.
