Pétanque
Jardin des Tuileries
I used to believe that this was only a game in Paris for men of a certain age, but have discovered that it is played by all ages, men and women. Once you get away from Jardin des Tuileries and Jardin du Luxembourg you will see a greater variety in the players.
Do you see two groups of children?

Yes, I do see two groups!! What a fun post for the day, Genie! Have a wonderful weekend!
La "mesure" est toujours un moment solennel.
Ha! Boys will be boys :)
If you could come to south, you would be surprised by the numbers of players, of every kind, everywhere!
This must be an important point—or a disputed one—since the measuring tape is in use! (Or maybe they're all important and disputed?)
I've watched Bocce played many time and I think it is quite similar - fun to watch and probably more so to play!
I've heard of the sport... but I don't think it really registered on this side of the Atlantic.
That would be fun to learn.
I only see one group. So who got the point?
