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.

In 1953, a sun-drenched field in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer becomes a bustling encampment for the annual Gypsy pilgrimage honoring Saint Sara. The scene, set before the "HOTEL RESTAURANT CHEZ CAMILLE," highlights a blend of traditional and modern life. Vintage cars are parked haphazardly alongside traditional horse-drawn caravans with arched canvas tops. People converse and mill about as horses and donkeys graze freely among the vehicles, creating a lively, communal atmosphere for the festival.
