Petanque!

It's not the national pastime, unless you're over 60, in which case it is. We have watched it played, mostly in western Europe, but all over the world, really, and I have for a long time wanted to know more. Happily, Rebecca found a petanque teacher (in real life he's an art dealer) who offers introductory lessons, and she booked us a private lesson on one of our last nights in Paris. In a park on Cite.
