The TransHumance, a massive and poetic event including hundreds of sheep, horses, cows…and humans who are crossing the Camargue and hills of southern Provence to finally meet in Marseille, on sunday June 9th. On the way they are stopping for bivouacs here and there. As we unfortunately (damned !!!) won’t be in Marseille on the 9th, decided to at least meet them somewhere, so here we are in Istres, admiring the animals and the Butteri rider’s impressive control over a heard of wild yearlings or long horned cows.
Bonus: an open air exhibition of Animaglyphe pictures by Lionel Roux made previously to the start of the event. Also on show in Les-Beaux-de-Provence until december 2013, see link here
