Arènes

The Caupenne bullring consists of a fixed stand, overlooking a sandy track. The wooden façade is painted red and white. During the races, removable stands are installed, as well as barriers called talanquères to close the track and form a protective corridor. The presence of these arenas testifies to the current vivacity of this custom. The Landes race consists of waiting motionless for the charge of a wild cow that weighs up to 250 kg. The spreaders dodge at the last moment, thus creating a gap. The jumpers jump over the cow! The course landaise is one of the four forms of bullfighting practiced in the world and is distinguished by two particularities: it is practiced almost exclusively with cows and bulls and there is no killing of the animal.
