Gypsies on the occasion of the yearly pilgrimage and festival of the Gypsies in honor of Saint Sara, Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer in 1953.

A sunlit encampment during the annual Gypsy pilgrimage honoring Saint Sara in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, 1953. On ground covered with dry grass and straw, daily life unfolds amid traditional wooden caravans and vintage trucks. A pot steams over a makeshift stove as a group gathers near a dappled gray horse. In the background, the town’s church tower and a sign for the "CAFE HOTEL DE LA PLAGE" rise against a bright sky, situating the temporary community at the edge of the coastal town during the festival.
