PROVENCAL JOUSTS

THE KNIGHTS BOSCOS OF PORT-FREJUS

(Var matin of august 17, 1999)

 

 

Chivalrous challenges "I undertake to joust for the best and for the laughter..."

Here is in substance what was proposed, on Saturday afternoon under Port-Fréjus's bridge, where the Yacht club and the harbour office, with the active collaboration of the Joust Fréjusienne, animated a friendly tournament of Provençal jousts, placed under the sign of frank good-companionship.

Within the framework of the operation Bosco, around thirty challenges gave rhythm to this entertaining morning, with the cooperation of good about sixty jousters and jouteuses as they are sailors or storekeepers of Port-Fréjus. Having followed the advices of custom distributed by the president Xavier Barbara, the greenhorns dashed then into the purest chivalrous tradition. Lances well in hands, the knights of the sea assured spectacle in the big enjoyment of the numerous tourists who had taken place on quays. joutes1.jpg (31728 octets)

And so that holiday is complete, Philippe Manon, Port-Fréjus's Bosco, did not miss to challenge the champion of France, Xavier Barbara, in a single combat because brooms had replaced lances and windsurfing boards acted as boats.

In other words that holiday was for the meeting and she went moreover on, because all this high society met then itself in traditional jar of the friendship before taking place around tables raised in advertisement the "Cap Horn".
