Toulon cancels traditional jousting due to water pollution

Traditional jousting demonstrations scheduled for Friday, August 21, in the port of Toulon have been canceled. The decision followed heavy storms in the early hours of the morning, which caused intense rainwater runoff and degraded the water quality in the port.

Organizers canceled the event as a sanitary precaution to protect the health and safety of the participants. No information regarding a potential rescheduling of the summer event has been released.
