When courage takes on the icy waters of the harbor
The Coupe de Noël is a longstanding tradition, with the first edition taking place in 1934. The concept is simple: jump in the (icy) water and swim across the harbour. Many revellers wear costumes: Barbie, Superman, swans, ducks and prisoners unite, perhaps to distract from the freezing cold? UNESCO must have been impressed, as the event is classified as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Doctors recommend regular practice before taking the plunge (the water is usually between 5-7° C). In 2024, there were around 4,400 swimmers who participated. How many will be there for the 2025 edition? Scheduled for 20th and 21th December, just in time for the Winter Solstice.
