Arènes de Soustons

The Arènes de Soustons, also called arènes Henri Canelas, are the municipal bullring of Soustons in the Landes department. Built in concrete with a notable wooden grandstand, they hold 2,900 spectators according to Tourisme Landes and 3,500 according to Torofiesta. Renovated in 2010–2011, the stands, metal frame and porticos were reinforced.

The first construction of the arenas dates to 1914. They are municipal fixed arenas built of concrete with a notable wooden grandstand. A major two-stage renovation from 2010 to 2011 reinforced the stands, the metal framework and the porticos. The first novillada without picadors was held in 1948.

The arena is used mainly for course landaise, a Landes form of bull sport, with about one formal corrida for every thirteen courses each year. The main feria is held in early August around the course landaise, and the first novillada without picadors took place here in 1948.

Scenes from the British-French short film Marion were shot here in 2023. This filming brought new attention to the space and demonstrated its appeal beyond traditional events.
