Souvenir Medal Monnaie de Paris 2011 - Sète (34)

Nautical jousting in Sète is a traditional sport from the south of France, practiced on special boats. Two knights stand on these boats and attempt to unbalance each other using lances to make their opponent fall into the water. This is a demanding sport that requires strength and agility and is deeply rooted in the local culture of Sète. Nautical jousting tournaments are popular events, accompanied by music and festivities. It's a unique experience to discover Mediterranean culture.
