Camargue beef

The region’s wide open spaces make it perfect for the age-old practise of raising traditional, unique animals.

Bulls are bred in the hills and plains of Lauragais, in the damp Mediterranean region of the Camargue, and especially in the mountainous regions of the Pyrenees, Aubrac, Cévennes and Margeride.

The most unique product is the meat of the Camargue bull which in recent times has been the only beef to be protected by an ‘appellation d’origine contrôlée’ (registered designation of origin).

This meat comes from two breeds: the local Camargue bull (related to the Spanish fighting bull) and the ‘brave’ breed (offspring of the Camargue fighting bulls).
