Wetlook World Forum

This is a rather old tradition, originating in the 16th century. Usually it involves a large wooden tub rather than a kiddie pool ;) The so-called 'cornutes' have to sit down on a wet sponge first, get some water sprinkled over their head (using another sponge or sometimes even a water bucket) and are then thrown into the tub by a couple of guys in historic costumes.

I visited several of these events this and last year and also took some pictures.. I think I'll begin posting them here during the next few days.
