Bassin de la Villette Petanque


Bassin de la Villette


Where you find the smooth "Paris dirt" 
which I believe is a fine limestone gravel,
you will find people playing Petanque.  


It is not a game limited to the "old timers" you see in Louxembourg Gardens
 or Tuileries, but a game enjoyed by friends 
and family of of ages, gender, and generations.


bon weekend

    Their expressions suggest that they are taking their game quite seriously Genie.

    Certainly more interest being shown there than I've seen recently at some baseball games here. :-)

    Some day I'm going to learn to play—then see if some one will let me (that might be the hard part!

    A very fine black and white bit of street photography. Nice, Genie.
