Summer jousting at Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every year, the appearance of the dashing “Saint-Mandrier” and “Saint-Flavien”, freshly repainted in red and blue, on the harbor quay signals the approach of the jousting season. From June to September, “the francs jouteurs mandr\u00e9ens<\/a>” indulge in their favorite activity, Proven\u00e7al jousting, a traditional sport that is both entertaining and impressive. At the end of the day or on a balmy evening in the village, stroll along the Saint-Mandrier harbor to watch their regular training sessions and tournaments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    The origins of Proven\u00e7al jousting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    “La T\u00e0rgo prouven\u00e7alo”, or<\/strong> nautical jousting in Proven\u00e7al dialect, is one of the oldest Proven\u00e7al games.\nThis sport of strength, a blend of medieval honor and community festivity, played from May to September, originally brought together men only.\nToday, women and girls are joining the ranks.\nTraditionally, jousting starts with beginners, then the level rises as the competition progresses. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
