Pétanque or Boules? - 3

It's 8.30 in the evening and today we are in the Boules Club of Menton, which is directly opposite the market building (behind me) - the sea is beyond the palm trees. We are watching a lesson in throwing the boule. Are these two father and son? What do you think?

  1. Interesting that the "sport" gets so much attention. It is like our horse shoes I suppose.

  2. Boule is another new word for my vocabulary! Hmmm, he could be the father or perhaps the boule instructor?

  3. The young boy is adorable. I love his posture in the last photo. It looked like a ballet pose before the dance. He probably won't appreciate that comment. :-)

  5. If not a father and son, at least an adult who cares enough to teach him the correct way. Very nice.

  10. Father or son? It really doesn't matter because the adult is taking time to teach and encourage a child. Wonderful!!
