Description

this is called "course Camarguaise" it is not a bullfight, no banderillas, blood or killing here!
the Camargue bulls are smaller, lighter and of course much faster than the Spanish ones!
fine cords are fixed on the basis of the bull's (or cow's) horns, and also a cockade is fixed between the horns ...
the premise of the game is to remove them using a "raset" (sort of a sharp comb) , hence the name of raseteur.
these games are especially dangerous for the raseteurs.
Camargue bulls race have a name, and respond to it. when they enter the arena, they have a minute time to take possession of the place, they are the masters, and must expel all intruders.
here is a pic of a perfect raset www.michelgassier.com/blog/wp-β¦
race reports in news paper says more about the bulls than the humans, the bull is the "V.I.P" in those games.. or let's say... "V.I.B"
and they have often statues in their honor 13-septembre.deviantart.com/arβ¦

Holy crap! That's a quick escape. It's like a French version of a rodeo. Sort-of.

well, it is a traditional bull race, don't have to ride the bull, but to dribble it! and of course, cut the cockade and the stripes

Reminds me of a joke I once heard about a Gringo going into a Mexican (or Spanish) restaurant and ordering "Bulls Balls" only to have two small puny ones come out. When pressed for an explanation, the waiter says "Bull won today"!

At times like these I curse my medical training, because all I can see is all the ways in which this could go wrong.

yeah, then, if you only see it like that, it is better not to try, because if you think about it, it may happend!

I have an extremely vivid imagination, so I do my best to not think about it anyway, otherwise the imagery...
