Camargue: "course camarguaise". This is a bloodless bullfight in which the objective is to snatch a rosette from the head of a young bull. Arènes des Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer in 1953.

During a "course camarguaise" in the Arènes des Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer in 1953, a man dressed in white dodges a charging bull. In this traditional, bloodless bullfight of the Camargue, the objective is to snatch a rosette from the animal’s head. With his arms outstretched, the man kicks up clouds of dust in the sandy arena, the dynamic action accentuated by strong sunlight and long shadows as spectators watch from the stands.
