More about Corrida rules and traditions

 

Good to know:

• Before the Feria, the "Espace Toro", the bull corrals located in Gimeaux, present the bulls used for the corrida and offer information about bullfighting traditions in the south of France, Provence region.
• Normally two fights take place per day in a famous, historic monument, the Roman arena of Arles.
• The show is also everywhere in the streets of the old city of Arles. The "aficionados" or bullfighting fans, can continue their entertaining evening at one of the thirty "bodegas" over a glass of sangria. "Penas", bands of musicians, add to the festivities around the arena and throughout the city streets.
