Languedocian jousts havetheir roots in Frontignan. They have been evidenced as early as 1627 on Etang d'Ingril. The cardinal of Richelieu, at the time of his visit to Frontignan in 1629, attended the unique show of a tournament of Languedocian jousts. Since then, this local tradition has remained intact. The City's tournament is an opportunity to discover this sport that is very attractive. Two men, the knights of the tintaine, fight in duel. Perched on the tintaine of their boat, with a spear, they must, by striking the shiel of their opponent, bring down this one into water.

Be a spectator at another Languedoc jousting tournament, this time in Marseillan! This traditional sport, which has its roots in Frontignan dating back to 1627, has remained intact and is practiced in eight towns in the Hérault and one in the Gard. The fight begins as soon as the oboes and drums sound the charge, and you can then watch, in a traditional musical atmosphere, as the jousters clash, all dressed in white, on their blue and red boats.

In summer, the port of Mèze is abuzz with the excitement of the Languedoc jousting tournaments organized by two local societies: the Nouvelle Lance Mézoise and the Jeune Lance Sportive Mézoise. The four categories (junior, senior, medium and heavy) compete on the water to the delight of spectators! Enjoy these traditional sporting competitions on a restaurant terrace or on the quayside, with an ice cream in hand!

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!

In the splendid and historic arena of Nîmes, meet in May at Pentecost for the famous ferias and their Camargue races! For 5 days, the festivities are in full swing: Royale de la manade Saumade, bullfights, international recortadores competition, novillada de la cape d'Or... Nowhere else can you experience this incredible festive, mythical and traditional atmosphere in such a unique setting!

What an unmissable event! This friendly sporting event takes place on the beach at Gruissan over 3 days. It's the biggest "touch" tournament on the Mediterranean coast, and you'll be able to watch some great beach rugby matches, but here, for more speed, less downtime and more spectacle, it's tackle-free! There's plenty of entertainment on offer too: beach rugby for women, children and teenagers, player autographs, concerts... A sensational weekend for lovers of the oval ball!

Every year, in September, the Prévost beach in Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone becomes the capital of kitesurfing. The amateurs and competitors of the discipline meet there for intensive days of exhibition. Born in La Grande-Motte, the activity is anchored on the territory and is part of the DNA of the department of Herault. The event is an opportunity to discover this water sport to the curious and to highlight the skills of practitioners. On this occasion, a 3,000 m² village offers a wide range of fun and festive activities to the public.

Every summer, a dozen competitions are organized by the Société Nautique des Jouteurs Agathois and the Pavois Agathois. Whether at the foot of St. Etienne's Cathedral or close to the coast, these competitions are a great way to discover the regional tradition in a jovial and festive way. Some of the tournaments, in various categories, are linked to major events such as the Fête des Pêcheurs tournament or the regional Tournament des Écoles de Joute.

From April to September, the Grau-du-Roi arena is the place to be for this amazing sporting spectacle! Each new season rekindles the flame of bullfighting tradition, with numerous competitions over several festive afternoons: the Trophée des As, the Trophée de l'Avenir, the Trophée de la Mer, the cocardière cow and young bull races, and the Course des écoles de raseteurs. Don't hesitate to join us in the stands of the arena if you'd like to immerse yourself in this southern tradition and discover these mythical trophies!
