[VIDÉO] Would you dare to dive into the cold water of an icy lake like Bianca Gervais, Sébastien Diaz and François Papineau?

Some people like to start the new year in an extreme way, and this was the case for Bianca Gervais, Sébastien Diaz and François Papineau, who dared a winter swim in an icy lake.

«Le making of. Thank you to my dear friend F. Papineau for supporting me in my follies, even on stormy days. Cheers to 2025!” wrote actress Bianca Gervais as a caption to her Instagram video post.

We discover the actor of Armes, François Papineau, break the ice so they can lower the ladder into a hole that will allow them to immerse themselves in the water of the frozen lake. And this, in the middle of a snowstorm hitting the municipality of Racine, in Estrie, where François Papineau and his partner, the actress Bénédicte Décary, have a residence.

The second publication shows the main performer of the series The pearls who is immersed in frozen water, hat on her head and face concentrated, hands gripping the steps of the dock.

The host and husband of Bianca Gervais, Sébastien Diaz, also published photos of his immersion in the new year and that of his friend François Papineau on his Facebook account.

In January 2023, actress Bénédicte Décary posted a photo on Instagram where we see her soaking in frozen water through a hole in the ice.

Several spas in Quebec and elsewhere in the world promote this type of winter bath, highlighting the possible benefits for the body and mind.
