This "club" of pétanque (i.e., boules) players is hidden away in the 15th arrondissement in Paris. Thanks to my wonderful friend and traveling companion Genie (who does the blog Paris and Beyond) for introducing me to this place. |

The men and women who play here have obviously been part of the club for many years—there's so much warmth and camaraderie on display, yet they take the game very seriously. I learned a lot while I was watching them. [To see more Blue Monday posts, go here.] |
