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.
In the sun-drenched arena of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, a traditional "course camarguaise" unfolds in 1953. Men dressed in white scatter across the sand as a black bull charges, casting long shadows. In this bloodless bullfight, the objective is to snatch a rosette from the animal's head. Tiered stands packed with spectators surround the ring, with the terracotta roofs and prominent church tower of the Camargue town visible in the background.
