One night while in France this summer we went to this regional special. It is sort of like a bull fight, but they don't kill the bull in the end. They actually aren't bulls either, they are female cows but they still have the horns. There are these men that get in the ring with the bull and stand in front of her until she runs at them and they get out of the way at the last minute. One man even did flips over the top of the bull as it came charging at him. It was pretty cool.

The real excitement starts when they let the people from the audience start joining in the fun. They invite anyone to enter the ring and play games to win prizes while the bull is also loose in the ring. So while they are playing soccer and keeping their eye on the ball they also want to keep a pretty close eye on the bull.

One of the guys with us Laurent (not my fiance Laurent) decided he wanted to get in the ring and play one of the games. He was in for a pretty big shock. I will let you watch it for yourself. Laurent is in the yellow shirt. Enjoy!

By the way no one was permanently hurt in the filming of this video.
