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.
An athlete in a white tank top is captured mid-air, his body stretched in a leap to evade a young bull during a "course camarguaise." The traditional bloodless bullfight, where the goal is to snatch a rosette from the animal’s head, unfolds in the sun-drenched Arènes des Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. Under the bright sun, sharp shadows streak across the sand as a packed crowd observes the high-energy action from the tiered concrete stands. Camargue, 1953.
