On Tuesday 26 August, the famous nautical joutes of Sète (Hérault) are ending. This tradition, which dates back to the 17th century, meets, each year, a huge success. During this great celebration, the inhabitants pay tribute to the Saint-Louis, the patron saint of the city. And on the water, the boats compete in a magnificent and spectacular broom.
