Petanque

It doesn't matter you live in a small village or Cannes a frenchman will always play his national sport with the balls.

This man acted a bit theatrical with his game throwing the ball, but there is always an audience sitting on the bench.

A bit suspicous what I was doing there with my camera?

I thought it was mostly a "men-game" but to my surprise here was a woman joining the men,

  1. I would bet you couldn't just join in...but would have to be invited...those guys look serious!

  2. I just adore the shot of the three men on the bench! What a colorful trio of observers. I have seen all ages, male and female playing pétanque at Bassin de la Villette in Paris.

    Great post, M!

  3. I agree with Genie, the shot with the three gentlemen is a classic! Also I do love the dramatic throwing style in the top shot, bet he's a good dancer also haha! I love to play petanque when we have family gatherings, it's great fun.
