Today we watched bloodless bullfighting. It's not really a fight, rather it is called Camarguese bull races. String rosettes are tied onto the bulls horns, and runners with razors-hooks in one hand try to cut the string off the bull while avoiding getting injured. It is a traditional event in the Camargue. We have seen it several times. Today's match was held in Salin de Giraud.

A lot of fun to watch.
