The Paris administrative court of appeal has rejected an application seeking to overturn a decision of the Minister of Culture whereby bullfighting was removed from the French List of intangible cultural heritage. The List is compiled in accordance with France’s approval in 2006 of the 2003 UNESCO Convention on Safeguarding the Intangible Cultural Heritage. Bullfighting was added to the List, which includes French gastronomy, French traditional horseriding, falconry and lacemaking, in 2011. The United Kingdom is not party to the 2003 Convention.
