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.

Gypsies gather in a makeshift camp during the annual pilgrimage for Saint Sara in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, 1953. In a stark, sunlit field, women and children are scattered around a wooden truck and a simple tent. The details of their daily life—a child playing in the dirt, laundry hanging to dry, a pot on the ground—contrast with the imposing, unfinished concrete building with massive arches that dominates the background.
