Description

The votive festival, or “vote”, is a celebration organised by a town or village in honour of the parish saint. Its origins are religious and rooted in the regions of Languedoc and Provence. By Gilbert Chalençon.
In the Camargue, the votive festival is closely linked to bullfighting traditions.
