>I was camping in the south of France last year and walked past the local towns bull ring every day. Always used to think that bull fighting was solely in Spain.

Maybe it wasn't, but well could have been. Once in Frejus, in their Roman ampitheatre, I attended a "Torro-Piscine". This was like a jeux sans frontier but with live bulls running amok amongst the participants, and a small swimming pool in the centre. I saw people gored, acts of great bravery where someone would distract the bull while it was goring someone on the ground, and feats of great agility, where someone would leap the 6' high refuge barrier to escape a bull. Great laugh. Saw many people painted red the next day (that antiseptic stuff they put on all cuts and grazes in France/Italy)
