A Spanish Touch Bullfighting is predominantly known in Europe as a sport whose home is Spain. Languedoc-Roussillon and other regions in the south of France were independent satates for quite some time which led to a collection of differing traditions. As the region is on the Spanish border it was influenced by Spanish tradition.
The bullfighting here is the genuine article. The matador faces a bull, dancing around the powerful horned animal until the final blow of the sword. The ritual, music and esteem for the matador exist as strongly here as they do in Spain. A remarkable spectacle but if you want to get involved yourself why not try a bull run. These also take place in Languedoc-Roussillon.
