Bull fights

Now that the courts have confirmed that bull fights are legal in France, can anyone give details of a good place to see one?

Thanks.

Watched one in Mexico some time back, not a nice experience to be honest.
And I'm not a sheep shagger in that I think animals should be treated like humans. But seeing a bull die painfully for entertainment purposes was a bit uncomfortable.
Fair enough if there had been a BBQ waiting, but there wasn't and so it seemed a bit pointless.

Not strictly true, I hate the French, with a passion.

Does anyone remember the B Side of that Spitting Image record, something along the lines of 'Ive never met a nice South African" - that's pretty much how I feel about the French.

As an idea, how about filling the stadium with bull spectators, but a bull within the ring and then add the cheese eating surrender monkeys one at a time?

That post may get me banned!

"Why France" - well, that's were I am.
That all sounds very reasonable, but you don't know where I can see one then !
Personally I don't mind sitting with (down-wind) of the cheese eating surrender monkeys as long as I'm not on the road with them in their unreliable cars which lack indicators and have strange nuts behind the steering wheel.

Don't go to a bullfight though. What's sporting or amusing about it?

That's just given me a valid excuse to never go to france again, if it's true!
I'm going to check.

Your article post says where they are. Nimes in the Camargue is one of the main centres. Lovely city as well.

Sounds like a lot of bull to me
but I'll look into it, thanks.
