Jeux de Contis

Jeux de Contis 2026

The Jeux de Contis return from Wednesday, July 22 to Sunday, July 26, 2026 for a new edition in Contis-Plage. Organized by the Festi'Sport association, this summer event combines sports competitions accessible to all, street entertainment, and festive evenings in the heart of the seaside village of Saint-Julien-en-Born.

The week opens on Wednesday with the lighting of the flame, animated by a banda and stilt walkers, followed by the traditional entrecôtade (grilled steak meal) with music. The following days feature the major events that make the Jeux famous: fishing competition, tennis tournaments, beret throwing, beach volleyball, slow bike race, 3x3 basketball, pétanque, and crate carriers. On Sunday, the running race and quilles de 6 precede the awards ceremony and the closing fireworks display.

Each evening, food and drinks are available on site, accompanied by musical entertainment.
