What's Behind The French Tradition Of Water Jousting?
Like a medieval duel, but on the water: Contestants use lances to try to knock each other out of their boats. Since 1666, water-jousting events have been held yearly in the port city of Sète, southern France. After a two-year break on account of the coronavirus pandemic, the traditional fisherman's jousting event has returned. It's considered the most important event of its kind – the the sport's world championships. Each year, thousands of spectators and fans flock to the city to take part in the spectacle. The competition rules haven't changed since 1666!
