With its winding streets and its bullring (Arènes du Cailar), Le Cailar is a typical Camargue village.
It is noted for being the first village in the area (in 1851) to be associated with bull manades.
The village is also receptive to modern art with Figuration Libre exhibitions encouraged by painters including François Boisrond.
Landmarks include the Arènes du Cailar (the bullring) completed in 1925 and listed as a historic monument in 1993, and the village church, Église Sainte-Étienne, with its 12th-century façade, listed in 1951.
