I found this for $3 at the Haunted in Sidney. I felt the price was worth if for the photo of the old guys playing boules on the front. It was published in 1975 and was really quite neat to read especially since we won't be going to Provence this winter (really looking forward to the California desert!)
There was an interesting chapter on bullfighting in France. I knew bullfighting in France was bloodless but didn't quite understand how it worked. Seems like the bull has cockades (rosette of ribbons) behind each horn and the matador has to pluck them off. Much more civilized. The bull's life is never in danger...however, the matador can get into serious problems.
