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 sun-drenched encampment of Gypsies in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer during their annual pilgrimage in honor of Saint Sara in 1953. Amidst traditional covered wagons and trailers, daily life unfolds. A woman tends to a steaming pot over an open fire while a dapple-grey horse stands patiently nearby. In the background, the town’s buildings, including the “CAFE HOTEL DE LA PLAGE,” rise above the bustling camp, contrasting the nomadic gathering with the settled coastal community.
