Eyragues, church
You cannot miss the vast village square, with its tall plane trees providing shade in the summer.
Here beats the heart of Eyragues - people do their shopping and on Friday mornings the square is the site of the weekly market.
Eyragues, street
All the locals gather here, meet friends and acquaintances and enjoy a chat and the chance to catch up on the latest news. The older people while away the time sitting on benches and talking, while the children play around the fountain.
On public holidays the square teems with life, the terraces are even more noisy than usual and the atmosphere is lively and cheerful.
Eyragues, tourist office
Every year during the Whitsun weekend, bulls, horses and cowherds gather for a three-day festival with bull courses, abrivado, bandido and encierro de taureaux (bulls are released into the streets, flanked by the cowherds).
At the end of August, during the festival of St Symphorien, there is a whole week of courses camarguaises, abrivado, a show, a ball, boules competitions and bicycle races.
