Pétanque League (11)
The game of pétanque is a boules sport generally played outdoors on a flat surface such as gravel or sand. Players use metal boules, usually steel, weighing between 650 and 800 grams. The aim of the game is to place the balls as close as possible to a small wooden ball called a "cochonnet" or "bouchon".
The game is played in several stages:
A player throws the jack at a set distance, usually between 6 and 10 meters.
Players or teams then throw their balls, trying to place them as close as possible to the jack.
The player or team whose ball is closest to the jack scores points. They can also score extra points for each additional ball that is closer to the jack than the closest opponent's balls.
The round ends when all the balls have been thrown.
The points are counted and the next round begins again.
Play continues until a player or team reaches a certain number of points set at the start of the game, usually 13 or 15. The game of pétanque requires both precision and strategy, as well as a good sense of balance and coordination. It's often played in a relaxed, convivial atmosphere, but can also be highly competitive at professional level.

Groupe Maurice film clubs: Normandy: Wonders in Memory in FR (6)
In this documentary, director Cyril Isy-Schwart reveals the finest assets of his native region: Normandy and its highlights such as Giverny, in the flower-filled world of the famous Claude Monet. We'll travel to the frontiers of the Middle Ages with the towns of Rouen, Honfleur and Bayeux, and its extraordinary tapestry retracing the conquest of England by William the Conqueror, and we'll skirt the majestic cliffs of Étretat.
We'll also visit the breathtaking Château du Champ de Bataille, which its illustrious owner will show us, including its enchanting Maharaja palace, patiently rebuilt stone by stone. We'll also get to meet the people of Normandy, who perpetuate their savoir-faire in the making of livarot and Calvados.
Normandy, today considered a land of remembrance, in memory of those freedom-loving men, many of whom went to sleep forever on June 6, 1944, when this year marks the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

Pétanque League (11)
The game of pétanque is a boules sport generally played outdoors on a flat surface such as gravel or sand. Players use metal boules, usually steel, weighing between 650 and 800 grams. The aim of the game is to place the balls as close as possible to a small wooden ball called a "cochonnet" or "bouchon".
The game is played in several stages:
A player throws the jack at a set distance, usually between 6 and 10 meters.
Players or teams then throw their balls, trying to place them as close as possible to the jack.
The player or team whose ball is closest to the jack scores points. They can also score extra points for each additional ball that is closer to the jack than the closest opponent's balls.
The round ends when all the balls have been thrown.
The points are counted and the next round begins again.
Play continues until a player or team reaches a certain number of points set at the start of the game, usually 13 or 15. The game of pétanque requires both precision and strategy, as well as a good sense of balance and coordination. It's often played in a relaxed, convivial atmosphere, but can also be highly competitive at professional level.
