In Southern France, the medieval art of jousting is still practiced by modern knights, only with a big twist - they use no horses and face each other on water.
The sport is officially called Water Jousting or Marine Jousting and although the practice can be traced back to the ancient Egyptian civilization, the French have embraced it as their own since the Middle Ages. Jousting is still taken seriously today, and is played on rivers and canals all over France.
