It is a kind of knight's duel on the water: the participants try to push each other off the boat with lances. The jousting has been held every year in the southern French port city since 1666.

I happened to be in the right place at the right time. It's a great spectacle.
You have to see it. The next time I'm in France 🇫🇷 I'll watch the whole jousting.

The nautical jousts of Sète are the absolute cultural and historical emblem of the "Singular Island". Born on July 29, 1666, for the inauguration of the city's port, this centuries-old tradition has captivated generations of Sétois and attracts tens of thousands of spectators every summer.
