Pétanque?



Jardin du Luxembourg


Rather than an intense game of Pétanque among the masters of the game,
it appears that I found them taking a break.

  11. I believe one of the men was so relaxed taking a break that he fell asleep in his chair! HAH

    This looks like an interesting game to me. :)

  12. Yes it is hard work, you have to stand and move your arm and than sit for half an hour to take a rest for all the effort.
