The town has led a relative tranquil time since its foundation, apart from an incident in 1893. In that year nine Italians were killed and hundreds injured in the course of a conflict between the French and the Italians who worked in the salt evaporation ponds of Peccais.

Tambornet

Le tambourin est un descendant des sports de balle et en particulier du jeu de paume ; l’instrument qu’est le tambourin, a suivi une évolution pendant les différents âges. Dans les années 1850-1870, ce dernier était un cylindre de bois creux avec une barre médiane et transversale située à l’intérieur, dans lequel on glissait le bras pour renvoyer la balle.
Par la suite, il a été un cercle de bois sur lequel on tendait une peau de cheval. Aujourd’hui, sa configuration est identique, mais le tour est en plastique et la toile synthétique a remplacé la peau de cheval.
Au départ le terrain n’était pas délimité. Puis, petit à petit, avec l’amélioration du matériel, il est passé par différentes mesures, ceci entraînant différents systèmes de jeu (jeu de chasses), pour aboutir à sa forme actuelle. Cette dernière permettant de mieux canaliser la puissance des coups développés.
Ce sport a mis longtemps à se structurer, pour preuve, la première Fédération Française fut créée en 1939, et il aura fallu attendre 1988 pour qu’une fédération Internationale prenne naissance à Mantova en Italie.

C'est avant tout un sport, fier de son passé et confiant en son avenir. Jeu de Balle descendant de la Longue Paume, il a, par des formes variées, traversé les civilisations pour arriver au siècle dernier (1870) à sa forme moderne, et prendre alors le nom de l'instrument utilisé pour frapper la balle.


Le sport Tambourin permet la compétition au plus haut niveau à des athlètes hommes ou femmes. Il peut aussi être proposé comme sport loisir (sport pour tous). Il se pratique en plein air ou en salle. Discipline à la fois collective et individuelle, d'un coût modeste, facile d'accès, le Tambourin peut être pratiqué à tout âge. Les aires de jeu sont faciles à improviser puisqu'une surface plane bien dégagée autorise une pratique immédiate une fois tracée les limites de l'aire de jeu.

Le Sport Tambourin se pratique en plein air sur des terrains en terre battue ou bitume durant la période estivale avec des équipes composées de cinq joueurs. Il se pratique en salle pendant la saison hivernale avec un nombre de joueurs restreint.

L'éducation accordée à ce sport passe, bien sûr par les établissements scolaires, mais aussi par des "écoles de tambourin": c'est là d'ailleurs le principal argument de confiance en l'avenir.

Pour son développement, s'est engagé un challenge prometteur, par une importante participation à l'échelle nationale. Aux cotés des fédérations Françaises et Italiennes déjà fort actives, d'autres pays vont trouver le lien sportif et réglementaire d'une Fédéation Internationale créée en octobre 1988 à Mantova (Italie). Grâce à tout cela, le Tambourin est un message, une proposition supplémentaire dans le monde du sport.
