One bull in southern France was treated to a VIP experience as it was transported in the back of a convertible.
The surreal sight confronted motorists driving along the D979 near near Cailar in the Camargue, on July 5.
Footage recorded at around around 4.30pm by a passenger in a passing car captured the large black bull standing on the back seats of a silver Peugeot.

A white rope is looped around the bull’s neck and appears to be fastened to something inside the moving car.
As the filming car drives past, the bull turns its head to watch it pass by.
The video was uploaded to Facebook by Anthony Mathieu who joked: ‘You can’t say you’ve never seen it.’
Anthony later said: ‘We were going to the beach with a group of friends when we drove past this bull in a convertible car.
‘We decided to drive around the roundabout further down to get a closer look at this scene. We see a lot of unusual things in Camargue but this was a first.’
