Bassin de la Villette - Pétanque


Pétanque


The game is not just for older men in Paris.  
This area on the bank of Bassin de la Villette 
is filled with people of all ages, families, young friends, 
all enjoying an afternoon of this popular game.


Perhaps we will try our skill this week

I was going to say what Alain said! And I'll be curious to hear if you do play too.

I'm surprised to see a grill playing.

You know, I saw people doing this in the Tuileries and I thought it was boules. Glad to have an official name!
