La Course Camarguaise: Chasing Bulls in Arles, France "La Course Camarguaise" is a popular sport in the South of France. "Razeteurs" - guys in white shirts with a little razor in their hand - chase a bull around an arena and try to cut off the strings that are tied between the bull's horns. The razeteurs win money / points for each string that they manage to cut off the bull's horns. Most of the time, a razateur runs toward the bull, who charges the razateur, who then jumps over the boards to safety without actually winning a string. In this video, you can watch two practice runs. The bulls horns are capped so they can't pierce anyone, and the razeteurs aren't actually cutting strings off the horns. I think the real competitions begin in the Spring. Tags: bulls taureaux Camargue Arles France razeteurs arena tauromachie |
