I think it's the craziest story I've heard of about the Tour de France
in fact, it's not a french tradition, but an african tradition, of football sorcery. ⚽ The word "Marabout" came from Africa. But, in fact, many marabouts work in France's african immigrants (or by Internet).
Le rugby a un ancêtre français nommé la soule qui se jouait village contre village, avec une panse de brebis qu'il fallait envoyer dans le clocher de l'église du village adverse. C'était à peu près la seule règle... ;)
in Norway we chanted "ut med dommeren, inn med kua" ("out with the ref, in with the cow") whenever we were unhappy with the referee, implying that even a cow could do a better job. I use the past tense, because I dont think it is used much anymore, even among kids, but as someone who was a kid in the 80s and 90s it was pretty ubiquitous back then

If you're going to talk about French cycling you have to mention the Paris-Roubaix! A 257 km long race where the main difficulty is having to ride through cobbled streets that will put your lower back to test!

The "force basque" from south west of france do have some interresting features. In the same region, you have a sport closed to squash calle "pelote basque". one of its version involves a "basket launcher" called "chistera" which can help reach amazing ball speed.

distrayant peut être, pour le talent on repassera, le mec ne sait pas de quoi il parle. Mais il y a apparemment, ici, plus d'amateurs de pif plutôt que de sport, ce que le marathon des poches à vin (du Médoc ndlr) n'est pas.
Pour info: les jouteurs nautiques ne portent pas de protections en dehors du pavois dans le Languedoc. EN: nautic jousters do not in fact wear any protective gear outside of the shield in the Languedoc region.
There've been 10 Rugby World Cups, it's not that notable that France has never won. Actually only one was won by a non-Southern hemisphere country (the big 3: Australia, New Zealand, South Africa), it was England in 2003.
Il y a aussi le 110 mètres - pastis : c'est un 110 mètres haies, mais à la place des haies, il faut boire un verre de pastis. Les chances de terminer le parcours sont... faibles.
@@Rave-agent well, some people still think that the old medieval and brutal games known as "la choule" inspired the rugby game. Which is somewhat far fetched...
I am highly amused by a description I heard on another youtube channel. "Parkour is the French martial art of running away." It's not wrong--if you're in a self-defence situation, then parkour will probably help you more than karate.
The New Zealand referee helped you very well. Difficult to win at 16 against 15. I just remind here that even Ben O'Keeffe said that he was not satisfied with his refereeing. In short, stolen match like in 1995;
I live in a boat jousting city in northern France. Never found it that weird, it's a pretty cool event... except when they do it when it's cold and raining. Never understood why they didn't always do it during the summer when there's tourists. Some people are apparently very competitive.
In Germany we sing " Schieri wir wissen, wo dein Auto stand, hat gut gebrannt". Roughly translates to " Refree we know where your car stand, it bunt well" 🤣🤣🤣
{Puts on pedantic hat} It's called "football" because it's played "on foot" rather than on horseback--which is how most historical games using large balls were played.
To be even more pedantic , you could use any part of your body to propel the ball as can still be seen in the traditional shrovetide football games around England that usually involve teams half a village strong and normally involve a rule on how to start, how to score and very little else.
J'ai rien contre le football americain qui a été inventé il y a 160 ans mais avoir renommé le "Football" en "Soccer" alors que comme le "rugby" qui s'en inspire on y joue pratiquemment pas avec les pieds, on sent qu'il y avait un besoin des huiles Americaines d'avoir leur jeu bien a eux genre "made in us", les sports francais sont pas vraiment bizarre, ils sont l'evolution de jeu parfois tres ancien comme "le jeu de paume" devenu tennis par la suite ou la petanque ou les boules ont connu leur version argile, bois, pierre jusqu'a la version final en acier.
I like the implication that American football is more creatively named specifically because all the players use their hands, and only one player is allowed to kick the ball.
Oh boy Loïc :) 15, 30 and 40 come from the distance you could serve the ball against the wall, after you won the first, second or third point. And why not 45? Because it was considered too close from the wall :) And "lov" comes from "l'oeuf", which stands for 0, but that was a brittish invention if my memory is still sharp. J'adore tes vidéos !
You should have talk about béhourd, its not french and is practiced all over europe, but it worth being mentionned as it is pretty atypic Its a bunch of dude dressed with armor and doing medieval fight
2:00 If 5 goals was expected to be possible, and number 18 plays a goal scoring role, the odds are not too crazy. He was off by one minute, so that's 90/3 = 30 possible guesses (about 3,4% chance to guess correct minute). And there's 5 goals so you get 5 guesses. Imagine rolling a die with 3,4% probability 5 times. Not too crazy. Then you'd need a prior probability guess for the 5-0 result in the first place, and lastly the probability that the scorer was no. 18 (which you could take estimate from season statistics, how many of the teams goals were scored by no. 18?). These are not "out of this world" odds. Now imagine that there could have been dozens of different future tellers with different predictions, and as you increase the number of predictions, it becomes almost a guarantee that you will find one that is specific enough to satisfy the odds of this prediction. And also, if no prediction came true, then there's no story and we wouldn't hear about it, so we are already biased: Winning the lottery is very unlikely, but people win the lottery all the time, we just don't think about the millions times people *didn't* win. And, *voilà* (see what I did there), this is how fortune telling works: Generic predictions, that make you think the odds are far worse than they truly are, come true, or even close enough, and the people marvel. *Oh là là* And that is, if nobody simply *lied* to make this story up. Regardless, it's still not as crazy as one might think.
Loic ! You forgot to mention that until the 60's athletes of Le Tour de France used to stop in pubs and restaurant on the way to get themselves some drink, mostly alcohol !
Anquetil obviously never read The Tortoise and the Hare. Also, Canada, Japan, South Africa, Ireland, Australia, and NZ call it soccer as well. Brits coined the term but then decided that when they’d join the EU they’d start calling it football to feel more European.
I've never hear of "rugby-golf", but you forgot, la Pétanque, la Boule Lyonnaise, le Palet, la Pelote Basque and le Baby Foot. We need a second video !

You should have talked about how the Tour de France was at the beginning, and how someone was disqualified because there was a SNCF sticker on his bike, or some took a car. 😂
For four years, I lived in Frontignan next to Sete. Lots of jousting there in the summer ... And in Balaruc, et al. Oh, as for a drivers license, it took me 310 days for an 'exchange'. That's a story unto its own.
France is also where the car was invented and most French Car companies are older than...most others. Save I think Mercedes-Benz which was in there somewhere. But, they have been involved in auto racing since...well literally the beginning. Yeah, they invented that too, with the first race being held in Paris. Today, they're in most facets of autoracing with Citroen and Renault in WRC and even Alpine and Peugeot racing in the new Hypercar classes in the World Endurance Championship.
Also, while Lanica has the most WRC Champship wins of a single make with 10, the French have most WRC Champship wins with 14 over Italy's 13. But...French drivers have by far the most event wins overall in the WRC.
To add up on the female side, the women's football team is doing good right now, recently getting to the Nations Cup final against Spain. They lost but hey, The women's spanish team is incredible. There's a reason they're world champion despite being in an open conflict with their coach during the World Cup. The women's rugby team is pretty good as well, beating the Black Ferns of New Zealand in the opening game of the Women XV. They're ranked third best team in the world, right behind New Zealand (and England is first). And for the cycling part, how not to mention the Tour de France Femme! It was (re)launched just two-three years ago and it was a resounding success! The most famous french female cyclist is Jeannie Longo (who is retired), and the current best french female cyclist (for the races like the Tour de France) is Juliette Labous. The most famous current french female cyclist is probably Audrey Cordon-Ragot (she's more of a classics cyclist). To add more sports, how not to talk about Handball? Both men and women competitions are dominated by France right now. I remember loving watching Jackson Richardson play as a kid. Same goes for biathlon by the way but I don't know much about this sport. Also, basketball I guess? I don't know much about the sport but I know at least the names of Tony Parker, Rudy Gobert, Nicolas Batum and... Wemby. yeah, the last one I only know his shortened name.

C'est un Cahors! Clos Troteligotte.
distrayant peut être, pour le talent on repassera, le mec ne sait pas de quoi il parle. Mais il y a apparemment, ici, plus d'amateurs de pif plutôt que de sport, ce que le marathon des poches à vin (du Médoc ndlr) n'est pas.
tu as oublié le jeu de pétanque
I love the fact that the French Federation of fencing officially added light saber combats to its variants 😊.
Pour info: les jouteurs nautiques ne portent pas de protections en dehors du pavois dans le Languedoc.
EN: nautic jousters do not in fact wear any protective gear outside of the shield in the Languedoc region.
I was gifted a pavois and a lance (with the teeth 😮!). They have pride of place in my home in Agde. ❤
Football and witchcraft? In some places in Spain they leave garlic around the goal area to "help" the local team.
Was hoping you'd show us a clip of rugby golf. I'm a visual person & am intrigued by this odd combination
its basicaly kicking the ball down a golf fairway into round nets
@@Ravioli1586 Thank you
For using and I hope also destroying in the process a golf fairway, this sport has all my admiration.
@@SerbanCMusca-ut8ny And if they can make it a contact sport too that would eviscerate the image of that annoying boring elitist game for ever.
There've been 10 Rugby World Cups, it's not that notable that France has never won. Actually only one was won by a non-Southern hemisphere country (the big 3: Australia, New Zealand, South Africa), it was England in 2003.
Il y a aussi le 110 mètres - pastis : c'est un 110 mètres haies, mais à la place des haies, il faut boire un verre de pastis. Les chances de terminer le parcours sont... faibles.
Handball? Petanque? Maybe an episode 2 in your future.
Isn't handball german, though ?
@@autre1806Yes it is (and therefore its pronunciation shoud be as in german...).
Rugby isn't exactly French.
@@Rave-agent well, some people still think that the old medieval and brutal games known as "la choule" inspired the rugby game. Which is somewhat far fetched...
I am highly amused by a description I heard on another youtube channel. "Parkour is the French martial art of running away."
It's not wrong--if you're in a self-defence situation, then parkour will probably help you more than karate.
As a South African I feel bad for knocking out France.🇿🇦
Your team was better than our! Don't 😊
One of the best games in any sport I've ever seen. Go Bokke!
C'est la vie mon ami...
@@WazkatyThanks
The New Zealand referee helped you very well. Difficult to win at 16 against 15. I just remind here that even Ben O'Keeffe said that he was not satisfied with his refereeing. In short, stolen match like in 1995;
It's not true, in American football, you almost never hit the ball with your foot! Got ya! It makes total sense.
I live in a boat jousting city in northern France. Never found it that weird, it's a pretty cool event... except when they do it when it's cold and raining. Never understood why they didn't always do it during the summer when there's tourists. Some people are apparently very competitive.
Les Bleus are one of the strongest rugby teams in the world?
What does that make Italy then?
In Germany we sing " Schieri wir wissen, wo dein Auto stand, hat gut gebrannt". Roughly translates to " Refree we know where your car stand, it bunt well" 🤣🤣🤣
{Puts on pedantic hat} It's called "football" because it's played "on foot" rather than on horseback--which is how most historical games using large balls were played.
To be even more pedantic , you could use any part of your body to propel the ball as can still be seen in the traditional shrovetide football games around England that usually involve teams half a village strong and normally involve a rule on how to start, how to score and very little else.
The French Flair the entire Rugby World highlights !!
I love every video you make, because you bring joy to learning French
I cannot hear the word "parkour" without thinking of The Office 😂
Thank you for adding in that clip
❤
I would have liked to hear more about scoring for tennis. Hint: it's based on divisions of currency as tennis was all about the gambling.
J'ai rien contre le football americain qui a été inventé il y a 160 ans mais avoir renommé le "Football" en "Soccer" alors que comme le "rugby" qui s'en inspire on y joue pratiquemment pas avec les pieds, on sent qu'il y avait un besoin des huiles Americaines d'avoir leur jeu bien a eux genre "made in us", les sports francais sont pas vraiment bizarre, ils sont l'evolution de jeu parfois tres ancien comme "le jeu de paume" devenu tennis par la suite ou la petanque ou les boules ont connu leur version argile, bois, pierre jusqu'a la version final en acier.
I did the marathon du médoc last year. It was awesome! I’ll do it again!
10:49 and you use a BOURGOGNE botle !?
Yep, noticed that too.
Shame!... shame!... shame!...
Well the bike wasn't even real...
Isn't it a Côtes du Rhône bottle ?
@@--Za Bourgogne and Côtes du Rhône use the same bottle
I like the implication that American football is more creatively named specifically because all the players use their hands, and only one player is allowed to kick the ball.
The catch 22 of safety equipment in water jousting is that yes it protects you but it also helps you sink...
Oh boy Loïc :)
15, 30 and 40 come from the distance you could serve the ball against the wall, after you won the first, second or third point. And why not 45? Because it was considered too close from the wall :)
And "lov" comes from "l'oeuf", which stands for 0, but that was a brittish invention if my memory is still sharp.
J'adore tes vidéos !
You should have talk about béhourd, its not french and is practiced all over europe, but it worth being mentionned as it is pretty atypic
Its a bunch of dude dressed with armor and doing medieval fight
We actually have water jousting too in Ulm Germany - but without the safety gear just old costumes ...
It's called "Fischerstechen"
2:00 If 5 goals was expected to be possible, and number 18 plays a goal scoring role, the odds are not too crazy.
He was off by one minute, so that's 90/3 = 30 possible guesses (about 3,4% chance to guess correct minute). And there's 5 goals so you get 5 guesses. Imagine rolling a die with 3,4% probability 5 times. Not too crazy. Then you'd need a prior probability guess for the 5-0 result in the first place, and lastly the probability that the scorer was no. 18 (which you could take estimate from season statistics, how many of the teams goals were scored by no. 18?). These are not "out of this world" odds. Now imagine that there could have been dozens of different future tellers with different predictions, and as you increase the number of predictions, it becomes almost a guarantee that you will find one that is specific enough to satisfy the odds of this prediction. And also, if no prediction came true, then there's no story and we wouldn't hear about it, so we are already biased: Winning the lottery is very unlikely, but people win the lottery all the time, we just don't think about the millions times people *didn't* win.
And, *voilà* (see what I did there), this is how fortune telling works: Generic predictions, that make you think the odds are far worse than they truly are, come true, or even close enough, and the people marvel. *Oh là là*
And that is, if nobody simply *lied* to make this story up. Regardless, it's still not as crazy as one might think.
In America we have drunk marathoning. We just call it bar hopping though.
In south Texas we call it the weekend...
En France, c'est les"bars parallèles" ( quote Aymeric Lompret )! 😄
I think Water Jousting would be extremely fun
1:58 if the year 2000 is the 21st century is the 40:00 the 41st minute? Everyone forgets about everything before 0:59 😮
Ta oublié le Savate 😅
Love your long form videos.
In the Netherlands we have the Stiletto Run: 100 meter dash down a street in high heels. Both men and females may run. Disqualified if heel breaks.
La pétanque oui, mais à boules carrées !
Loic ! You forgot to mention that until the 60's athletes of Le Tour de France used to stop in pubs and restaurant on the way to get themselves some drink, mostly alcohol !
Longue Paume, Ballon au Poing....all practiced in a few villages in the north of France.
Could have mentioned the revolution with le serment du jeu de paume when the revolutionaries took other the game room after their room was barricaded
What about chess-boxing? It first appeared in a comic book by Enki Bilal, and then people turned it into an actual discipline.
Could I interest you in chessboxing ? Exactly what it sounds like, invented in a bande dessinée by Enki Bilal.
Ah merci de mentionner le chessboxing ! En voyant la vidéo j'ai immédiatement pensé à ça :D
What about Les 24 Heures du Mans? The biggest and most dramatic motor race in the world
Anquetil obviously never read The Tortoise and the Hare.
Also, Canada, Japan, South Africa, Ireland, Australia, and NZ call it soccer as well. Brits coined the term but then decided that when they’d join the EU they’d start calling it football to feel more European.
I've never hear of "rugby-golf", but you forgot, la Pétanque, la Boule Lyonnaise, le Palet, la Pelote Basque and le Baby Foot. We need a second video !
I lived in Bordeaux for a while and witnessed a marathon du Medoc. A friend even participated for some distance. I think there are dedicated runners who don't get drunk and finish and then there are the others. Like my friend :)
i discover you're channel a couple weeks ago, i love it ! You make me laugh a lot and today i even learn things about my country and it's sport i don't know !
I'm french but it's an occasion to practice my english ... (sorry if it's not perfect) Love you're work continue and thanks you !
Le marathon du Médoc, que tu images avec une boutanche de Côte du Rhône , c'est assez drôle. C'est qu'il a fini loin, notre marathonien !
Merci et/and thank you ! for this video :)
You missed sailing really fast around the world nonstop. In trimarans
You should have talked about how the Tour de France was at the beginning, and how someone was disqualified because there was a SNCF sticker on his bike, or some took a car. 😂
My (french) collegues is in a club of trollball. It's basically a medieval war but you have to put a ball in a basket (on the ground).
Invented by a gentleman called "William Webb Ellis" at a school in Rugby, Warwickshire. 🇬🇧 UK ❤
Et la pétanque?
La pelote basque?
For four years, I lived in Frontignan next to Sete. Lots of jousting there in the summer ... And in Balaruc, et al. Oh, as for a drivers license, it took me 310 days for an 'exchange'. That's a story unto its own.
France is also where the car was invented and most French Car companies are older than...most others. Save I think Mercedes-Benz which was in there somewhere. But, they have been involved in auto racing since...well literally the beginning. Yeah, they invented that too, with the first race being held in Paris. Today, they're in most facets of autoracing with Citroen and Renault in WRC and even Alpine and Peugeot racing in the new Hypercar classes in the World Endurance Championship.
Also, while Lanica has the most WRC Champship wins of a single make with 10, the French have most WRC Champship wins with 14 over Italy's 13. But...French drivers have by far the most event wins overall in the WRC.
Maintenant j'ai envie de m'entraîner à courir un marathon juste pour participer au marathon du Médoc...
Et la pétanque bordel de m... ?!
Quand même ! Nan mais oh ! 😂
Je découvre des sports xD mais oui je suis d'accord avec mes confrères: où est la pétanque ???
To add up on the female side, the women's football team is doing good right now, recently getting to the Nations Cup final against Spain. They lost but hey, The women's spanish team is incredible. There's a reason they're world champion despite being in an open conflict with their coach during the World Cup.
The women's rugby team is pretty good as well, beating the Black Ferns of New Zealand in the opening game of the Women XV. They're ranked third best team in the world, right behind New Zealand (and England is first).
And for the cycling part, how not to mention the Tour de France Femme! It was (re)launched just two-three years ago and it was a resounding success! The most famous french female cyclist is Jeannie Longo (who is retired), and the current best french female cyclist (for the races like the Tour de France) is Juliette Labous. The most famous current french female cyclist is probably Audrey Cordon-Ragot (she's more of a classics cyclist).
To add more sports, how not to talk about Handball? Both men and women competitions are dominated by France right now. I remember loving watching Jackson Richardson play as a kid. Same goes for biathlon by the way but I don't know much about this sport.
Also, basketball I guess? I don't know much about the sport but I know at least the names of Tony Parker, Rudy Gobert, Nicolas Batum and... Wemby. yeah, the last one I only know his shortened name. X)
And finale, how not to mention the FFL? La Fédération Française de la Lose! Look it up.
Allez Alain Philippe!
N'oublie surtout pas le tennis de table.
C'est peut-être pas français, mais il y a les deux frères Lebrun qui ont réussi à se placer dans le top 20 mondial (Alexis 20ème et Félix 6ème), et l'un des deux, je sais plus lequel, a battu le 1er du classement.
Et puisque chaque pays ne peut envoyer que 2 joueurs aux JO, il y a d'assez fortes chances qu'ils gagnent la médaille.
@@clemente3966Disons que ça c'est beaucoup plus dans l'actualité récente, mais oui, je ne les oublie pas ! D'ailleurs je bosse dans une boutique où il y a un corner J.-O. et je déplore l'absence totale de goodies pour le tennis de table !
You could have mentionned "La diagonale des fous" in La Réunion as well. I guess that, between this and pétanque, it's a good start for a second episode on the topic! ^^
Et la petanque, et la savate, et le fleuret(une des origines de l'escrime), et le béhourd.
Mais oui le marathon du Médoc ! Une institution ! 😂
Seen them play Basque pelota, that's crazy, maybe not originally French but the French are the crazy people still doing it
Not just the French, the Spanish too and it even seems to me that Argentina is world champion, or was.
Euskara sport no francia played in every country with basque community. You'll never see this outside of basque country in france so watch your words !
I've seen then play it in French Reunion island @@ochalo4002
“Jai Alai” (much the same thing) is played extensively in Latin America and in places in the USA with Latino populations - eg Florida. Also in the Philippines. Seems the Basques took it with them everywhere they went.
@@ochalo4002 Reunion island isn't basque and they play it
Very entertaining! 😂
2:29 Soccer? What is that?
an "anime"character from Avatar the Last airbender.
ce que les Québécois appellent le sport de FIFA
That wine run sounds like a Beer Crawl in Wisconsin!
Jamais entendu parlé du rugby golf. ^^
pour le maraboutage dans le foot, on a même eu un footballeur qui est allé jusqu'au procès car il pensait qu'un autre l'avait fait marabouter ^^
le Marathon du Medoc est plus une fête qu'un sport.
tu as oublié la pétanque et pas mal d'autres sports de boules : boules lyonnaises,et même des boules carrées (inventées à Cagnes-sur-Mer) ^^
Sur la partie sur la sorcellerie, il a oublié le sable magique qui a rendu l'équipe de Nantes à la Beaujoire invincible pendant plusieurs années... Grâce à un marabout fan de l'équipe.
Odd fact the word soccer originated in England by a Oxford student and after America's picled it up the English returned to calling it football or something idk been a while since i looked into it
Yea.. the brit story. And aren't you surprised by the fact that there is no soccerclub in Great Britain, only footballclubs? Liverpool FC, Arsenal FC, FC Chelsea, FA?
Of course French would be the language where it’s possible to accidentally ask for a tennis instead of an apple juice.
Not really. Pomme and paume don't sound the same. /pom/ vs /pɔm/
@@mecha-sheep7674 ce n’est pas la même pour vous, et pour mois, mes les autre roastbeefs …
Adorei esse vídeo! Obrigada 🙏 thanks for putting all this information together and delivering it with a unique humor. I love your rosy cheeks btw 🤗
À propos des voyants qui font des pronostics.
Une voyante, parmi plein d'autres, a été interrogée par TF1 la veille de la finale de 98 pour donner le score du lendemain, et elle a répondu 2-1 pour la France...
Puis elle a ajouté "je dis 2-1 parce que je vois trois buts et que je n'ose pas dire 3-0" !
Fun fact: the nickname for Paralympic rugby is "Murderball"
