2026 BULLFIGHTING TROPHY - LE CRÈS

The 3M bullfighting trophy, an event organised in partnership with the French Federation of Camargue bullfighting and bullfighting clubs, launches its twelfth season on April 25.

Competition in Le Crès on August 18, 2026

This competition, which this year includes 13 races integrated into the calendars of the Trophées des As and Avenir, is in keeping with the pure tradition of Camargue races.

It rewards the best raseteurs, manadiers, but also "capelado", the opening spectacle in the arenas.

Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole will award, at the end of each race, a prize to the best race animator as well as to the best bull in the form of prize money, depending on the performance of the raseteur.
