Arènes du Tempéras

Arènes du Tempéras is a bullring in Alès with an oval sand arena ringed by a red barrier wall topped with a white rail, bearing a white horseshoe-shaped emblem with the date 1928. Above it rise tiered grey concrete stands divided by low walls. The venue holds 3,300 spectators and is used for Spanish bullfights and Camargue bull games.

Built in 1891 for Spanish bullfights, the arena was soon blocked by legal bans, sold at auction to a Gard councillor who was also a lawyer and mayor of Alès, then resold and used as a warehouse. Abandoned or used clandestinely, it regained its original function on 18 and 19 June 1966, its inauguration dates. Closed again in 1978 for lack of funds, it revived in 1989 with the Ascension feria.

The venue sits near Rue Amiral de Suffren with easy access from the town center. There is parking available on-site plus infrastructure for refreshment stands and access for large vehicles.

The white horseshoe-shaped emblem on the red barrier wall carries the date 1928, a marker of the arena's earlier life that predates its 1966 reopening. The stands are tiered grey concrete divided by low walls, and the arena floor is flat pale sand.
