The required disguise (and the swimsuit too)

The temperature of the Mediterranean Sea is approximately 15 degrees currently. For the bravest, the event is open to all. It’s also an opportunity to dress up in Christmas colors or simply wear the famous Santa hat.

The disguise remains essential in any case, as does the swimsuit (preferable all the same). A moment of joy and sharing before the end-of-year holidays. This tradition is organized in many towns on the Côte d'Azur.
