Saint-Mammès, rich of several centuries of life around the Water, conceals some traditions of which the best known is the jousting. Visible, noisy on days of challenge between communes, the nautical game attracts the eye and forces admiration.
Perched on platforms, jousters clash as at the end of the 19th century. Spectacular, the "fight" is short but violent. It looks a lot like the jousts of the medieval knights. Those who have seen water jousting can not forget them. Those who have not seen it, we invite them, on summer Sundays from mid-June, to stroll along our quays and stop a few minutes to attend a training or a competition!
Appointment 14H00 to 18H00, quai de Seine, to the river stop. Please consult the calendar: http://lajouteparisienneasaintmammes.wifeo.com/
