Bassin de la Villette
On a Sunday afternoon
you will find many groups of people playing pétanque.
We found a foursome of twenty-somethings
enjoying a game with a man and a woman on each team.
So much for thinking that only
little old French men play pétanque.

Hello Genie:
ReplyDeleteOld [mostly in our experience] or young, is there anything which more typifies France?
Qui a dit que les femmes le jouaient pas à la pétanque ?
ReplyDeleteI must brush up on my pétanque Genie. Bon Vivant.
ReplyDeleteI have only heard of the game through photoblogs. I've never seen it played here, or even mentioned here.
ReplyDeleteStereotypical thinking (I'm a bit guilty too). So thanks for showing us that pétanque is alive and well and played by tout le monde!
ReplyDeleteWell the old guys are more fun to watch!!!!
