Most of the Landes arenas were built towards the end of the 19th century. However, some arenas, like this one in Bégaar, were built specifically for the summer season with a wooden frame. Most arenas host the Landes bullfights. During these races, the bullfighters dodge the cow in the center of the ring at the last moment. The jumpers perform jumps over the cow. During local festivals, bullfighting games (bullfighting) are also organized, as well as cockade competitions where bullfighters must tear a piece of cloth from between the cow's horns. In larger arenas, bullfights or novilladas take place. Types: Small rural heritage Source: https://www.tourismelandes.com/patrimoine-culturel/les-arenes-pcuaqu040fs000dg/
