La Saint-Pierre, a celebration anchored in heritage
On July 5, the port of Oursinières vibred to the rhythm of traditions and festivities celebrating La Saint-Pierre, patron saint of fishermen.
A celebration anchored in local heritage that brings generations together around the values of the sea, memory, and celebration. In the afternoon, young and old enjoyed a program of family activities. Creative workshops (making flower crowns) delighted children, while others tried paddleboarding or optimist sailing, supervised by the sports department of the Ville and members of the Club Nautique du Pradet. The traditional pétanque competition brought together many enthusiasts on the port's boules pitch in a friendly spirit. In the late afternoon, the highlight of the day gathered residents and the first summer visitors with the procession in honor of Saint-Pierre along the beach, followed by the blessing of the boats by the parish priest. Spectators watched demonstrations of water jousting offered by the club of Saint-Mandrier. And as tradition dictates, the evening continued with a lively balèti and a sardinade shared between residents and visitors. This edition kept all its promises thanks to the mobilization of the Ville, the Comité des Fêtes du Pradet, the Société Nautique du Port des Oursinières, and the Sporting Boulomane Pradétan.
