TOURNOIS DE JOUTES

Every summer, the thermal waters of Balaruc-les-Bains play host to Languedoc jousting tournaments, notably during its annual festival. As in neighboring towns, the tournaments take place in the port. Armed with their spears and bulwarks, the jousters try to knock their opponents into the water, under the wide-eyed gaze of the children and the amused eyes of the older ones. These are not-to-be-missed events when you visit Balaruc and the surrounding area!
