Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In Provence, petanque is much more than just a game: it is a true way of life. Born in La Ciotat in 1907, petanque owes its origin to Jules Hugues, known as "Lenoir," a champion of Provencal games who, afflicted by paralyzing rheumatism, could no longer run before throwing. His friend Ernest Pitiot then had the ingenious idea of throwing the ball from a circle drawn on the ground, giving rise to the term "Petanque," derived from the Provencal words "pe" (foot) and "tanca" (anchored), meaning "feet anchored." The author takes you on an exciting journey through the emblematic towns that have marked the history of this sport, such as Marseille, Saint-Tropez, and Saint-Paul-de-Vence. You will also discover Chomerac, the future capital of petanque, which will soon host the French and International Petanque Federation. This ambitious project will include the construction of 64 courts, a renowned training center, an official store, and many other facilities on a spacious site near the city center. Each chapter of this book explores a fundamental aspect of petanque, ranging from mastering throws to game strategy. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced player, this reading will immerse you in the extraordinary epic of this sport. You will discover the values and rules of the game, different strategies such as the famous "shoot or point," and familiarize yourself with its unique vocabulary. This comprehensive book on petanque will be your guide to excellence in this traditional and exciting game. No matter your level, dive into this reading and let the pleasure of the game accompany you on the petanque courts.Happy reading!
