Camargue bulls are bred for Camargue races that, unlike Spanish bullfighting, spare the bulls' lives. Raison d'être of the herds of the Gard and Bouches-du-Rhône departments, the Camargue races or bouvines throw into the arenas raseteurs dressed in white willing to take all the risks to catch the cockades, tassels, and strings attached between the horns of the bulls. Camargue's traditional mas (farms) and sport have deep local roots and are viscerally linked to the Rhône delta.
