The video discusses the potential end of Pozzuoli's history and the unique water tradition of Solem's carnival in northern France. Visitors are advised to wear a frogman's outfit to avoid getting soaked. The tradition dates back to the 11th century when water was used as a defense against pirates. Only the infirm, aged, and doctors are exempt from the soaking. Tourists are not spared, as shown by an unfortunate visitor. The cameraman was prepared for the deluge, and everyone expects to get wet during the event.
