FEATURED PHOTO - (a worldatlas.com photo)
![]() This very focused man (in the crouched position) just carefully tossed a hollow, but somewhat heavy metal ball at at a small target some 30 feet away. He's playing in a game of Pétanque, a sport that originated in 1907 in La Ciotat, France. The casual form of the game (pronounced "pay-tonk") is played by about 17 million people in France, mostly during their summer vacations. There are about 375,000 serious players licensed with the Fédération Française de Pétanque et Jeu Provençal, and some 3000 in England. And yes, they have an official website! |
