Ah les joueurs de pétanques !...
Ici dans ma région lyonnaise, le jeu a son importance. Lorsque je vivais dans le sud de la France à Port-Grimaud, tout près de Saint-Tropez, la pétanque était aussi à l'ordre du jour. La Fanny aussi!...
Une très belle photo.
Gros bisous
Like the black and white and the depth of field. I hope the worn out duster brought him good luck.
Great shot. I suspect you are correct and it is his good luck charm. I have seen "loveys" in almost the same shape!
love this peek into the game
Sounds like an interesting game. I believe that rag might be his "lucky charm"! HA
It’s sure an interesting tradition “La Fanny” for the Boules player that don’t score any points in a game

Excellent capture!
Herm, thanks for the explanation. I was going to email Martine and ask for a little more help on that one! :)

Was going to say what Janey said—we had a "blankie" that looked almost that ragged before its owner was finally talked into tossing it. :~}
Hope it brought him luck!
Great pic V...I used to play it very badly when I lived there and never really got to grips with rules.
The light along his backside, the blurring of the background, and the man on the right checking out the action all make this a fine image. Nice one, Virginia.
worn like that, it must bring bonne chance ..
reminds me of baby blankets, worn to the thread ! same principle.. or maybe not?
Yes, lucky charm I'd say!! Love petanque, we got a set and usually bring them out every Summer - it's good fun with a little 'vin'!!

Stunning composition in B&W Virginia, j'adore!
V, adore the photo and yes, I've never seen a cleaning rag as old as this. I suspect it's a supersttion - it brings him luck. This is the sort of photo I wanted to get yesterday and it rained!
You are right the men are all from all nationalities. I noticed that also. Did you ever see the rack for their coats? Only in Paris.
