Do you want to learn about bullfighting? Do you want to support young bullfighting school students, apprentice bullfighters or bullfighters? Come and visit us for a whole weekend for the traditional Capea du Forum.
As a prelude to the Féria d'Arles, young and old are invited to the traditional "Capéa du Forum"! For the occasion, portable arenas will be set up all weekend long on the mythical Place du Forum, where a succession of bullfighting and cultural demonstrations will take place.
