We spent the morning making one more spin through Olargues.

Time now to head back to the Camargue. We would spend the rest of the trip in the medieval walled town of Aigues-Mortes, built by King Louis IX in the 1200's. If you followed the blog last year, this is where we saw the French style bullfighting. It was so much fun we had to come back. This time we allocated three full days for the festival.

We were welcomed by the great rows of sycamores of southern France.

Last year we were caught totally off guard on what we were getting ourselves into with these black bulls and white horses so this time we tried to get up to speed on what was going on.  This festival goes on for eleven days and there are events in different parts of town. We will be ready tomorrow morning. Meantime we enjoyed the sunset.
