Bassin de la Villette
If you really want to be among the Parisians, take a stroll along the quais of Bassin de la Villette on any weekend. It is a delightful spot for a picnic and for watching people.
Perhaps you will stop in Bar l'Ourcq for some
boules and a game of pétanque with friends.

Looks like a Strategy Game !
I'm glad about this picture because it shows that not only old people play games, but young and fashion people too!
It's great to see that the game of pétanque is alive and well!
They do look engrossed in their game Genie.
Villette is a great area with a number of interesting things to see and experience.
It does look like a great place for people watching :)
Great game and the tradition of "la Fannie" adds some color. Do have the scoreboard?

Boules is played all over Paris in parks. I love to sit and watch. It's a very democratic game ... young and old, rich and poor, a great mixture of people enjoying some time together. And so serious with so little contention. Did you ever see a serious argument over a boules game?
The players always seem so serious
Wow—you're up to XXII? That's a lot of pétanque, mon amie! (I love this in b and w.)
what great faces!
Great idea. Love to people watch!
You captured a nice moment there.
