  • Luggage And Bags: Oh Marcel, tu tires ou tu pointes?[Oh Marcel, you shoot or you place?]. This is the non-ending question, the to be or not to be of this game. The word Pétanque comes from the provencal language, and means in french 'Pied-tanqué' and in english 'joined-foot'. Because when you play this game your foot are joined.
    Played around the Jardins de la Fontaine. There are also competitions in the Arenes.
