I posted this a few days ago in another thread but I suppose it fits in here too?

I like both these photos.

I'm in Arles for the photo festival, where there's an exhibition: "Straight To The Point: Pétanque And Jeu Provençal Through The Lens Of Hans Silvester" which is fascinating, both for the photography and for the description of the games in Provençal culture - and explaining the difference between pétanque and jeu Provençal. Many of the photos are on Silvester's website.

Thanks, Paul, for posting the link; some really great photographs!

I also particularly liked the prize lists!......😸......

Interesting to read about the differences between Pétanque And Jeu Provençal; the latter of which is new to me.

A game being played this evening on the gravel outside the arena in Arles. I've seen it played here quite often, almost always by younger people.
