Bullfights in Southern France

Does anyone know if there are any bullfights going on in Southern France during Sept. 7- 15. I haven't been able to find out any details on line, except that they do exist

The Arles and Nimes arenas normally have the Provencal bull games (the bull is not killed, it's not a Spanish bullfight); and then during the Feria du Riz (Rice Festival) sometine in Sept in Arles (and maybe other places like Nimes, I'm not sure), the Spanish bullfighters come to town and there is Death in the Afternoon (nod to Hemingway).

Here's a prior discussion here
