[1/5] A French toreador apprentice of the Arles bullfighting school practices before a bullfight show at the Monumental de Gimeaux arena in Arles, France, November 20, 2022.
"Corrida is a tradition, an art, a dance with the bull," said Baptiste, one of about a dozen students who learn to wave the traditional red muleta cloth in front of bulls in the Arles bullfighting school.
At the weekend, pro and anti ban protesters marched in several southern France cities where corrida is still allowed.
For Caron, exceptions that allow bullfighting in some parts of France and have under a thousand bulls killed per year, should be scrapped.
"Since (bullfighting) exists, there are people who have tried to ban it, " said Yves Lebas, president of the Arles bullfighting school.
