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 lively scene from the annual pilgrimage and festival of the Gypsies in honor of Saint Sara unfolds in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, 1953. Under a canvas awning, children and adults gather around a swing ride on the unpaved ground. A man in a white shirt pushes a smiling child in a barrel-like swing as other children watch from behind a wooden picket fence. To the left, a man in a dark, peaked-cap uniform observes the festivities, his hands clasped behind his back. An old-fashioned truck is parked nearby, and a single shoe lies discarded in the foreground.
