This week is the famous "Running of the Bulls", know in Spanish as, encierro. The most famous running of the bulls is that of the seven-day festival of Sanfermines in honour of San Fermín in Pamplona.But did you know they also have a version of this Spanish tradition in France? Here in Provence the event is much smaller and just more - well, French! Les Cowboys are rather fetching, too, in their colorful Provençal shirts. They are the REAL thing.

How fun! Is this in the Camargue? They have bloodless bullfights, too...but I have never been. Love that French style! Happy week!...hugs...Debbie

Oh my goodness how exciting!
Thank you so very much for linking up.
How intriguing. I always wondered how this tradition got started. Will have to research. I ran with the Bulls, but it was a race on Wall Street when I worked for Merrill Lynch! Not nearly as exciting as your experience.
