Jeux et Tradi Normandie

The Fédération de Jeux et Sports Traditionnels Normande et Vikings runs competitons in the Traditional Sports of Normandy (North France) and the Vikings who settled there [References: 3].

From Wikipedia: “La soule, later choule or sioule, is a traditional team sport that originated in Normandy and Picardy. The ball, called a soule, could be solid or hollow and made of either wood or leather. Leather balls would be filled with hay, bran, horse hair or moss.” [References: 4]

It therefore would have close links with both the Traditional Celtic Games and the Atlantic or “Black Atlantic” Games.
