Play Petanque with Parisians

Ever watched those French movies where the old folks are tossing metal balls around in a sandy lot? That's petanque, mon ami, and it's pretty much a cultural staple here. Imagine tossing a few balls yourself, trying to get them as close as possible to a tiny wooden one. It's boules of fun, and if you can find a local to show you the ropes, you're in for an authentic Parisian experience!
