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.

Bridge is played with 4 players, the players being symbolized by the 4 cardinal points (North, East, South and West). The two players sitting opposite each other form a team that plays against the other two players.

One player takes a deck of 52 cards and, after shuffling them, deals them clockwise.

The rules of the game: 500 is a game of trump tricks played with 4 players in two teams of 2. The partners sit opposite each other. A 43-card deck is used (a 52-card deck, plus a joker, from which the black 2s, 3s and two 4s are removed).

The order of the cards in trump is as follows:

Joker

Jack of Trump, called Right Bower

Jack of the suit close to the trump suit (example: Clubs if the trump is Spades), called Left Bower

Trumps: Ace, King, Queen, 10, 9.

Other cards: Ace, King, Queen, Jack (if not Left Bower), 10, 9

Without trump, the joker is considered a trump, and wins the trick where it is played, no matter what

Gustave Eiffel has just been made an Honorary Citizen of the United States for his major contribution to the Statue of Liberty. His next project was even more ambitious: to create a 300-meter tower for the 1889 Paris World's Fair. He can count on the help of the influential Antoine Restac, an old friend who has just reappeared in his life. The latter is married to Adrienne Bourgès, Gustave's great love of youth, who disappeared without a trace 20 years earlier. Buoyed by the breath of his former flame, the iron magician takes on what promises to be a titanic task.
