Camargue culture

This morning, we headed down to the Camargue to bicycle, then we had planned to take in the Carmargue bull races this afternoon.  But after more than three hours of cycling, and eating lunch, we realized that it was certainly going to rain later in the afternoon.  So, we headed out of Stes. Maries de la Mer about when the rain started.

After eating lunch, I walked over to the arena, and caught a glimpse of several people in traditional costume for the bull races. They seemed to be leaving a dress rehearsal for their performance later in the day.
