The festival itself called "Fete votive" is an old Provencal tradition that was born as a holiday in honor of the patron saint of the settlement. Each town - whether it is a large settlement or a small village - has its own dates and celebration program. What unites them is their love for their land and the desire to preserve ancient traditions. In Remoulins, the festival begins on the third Friday of July and lasts for five days. One day, local variations on the theme of the bloodless Camargue bullfight take place in the city - local craftsmen demonstrate their talents for taming bulls.
