Philippe of Petanque-America isn't just a pretty face who supplies us with the best petanque boules in the world -- he also knows how to use them - VERY accurately. During pauses in the Saturday tournament in Chigago, Philippe made sure to keep the player's digits limber by challenging them to pick-up games on free pistes. It was also Philippe who offered up all of those gift certificate raffles for Petanque-America goodies.
I believe Roland and Gerard won ones for $40 a piece!
Here we see Philippe being the gentle ambassador of petanque, talking with the folks from Louisville.

In Provence, what is the best :
to be a good "pointeur"
or a good "tireur"
in this famous activity
which is called "LA PETANQUE"

I'm sure he will understand.
"Fête du good travail", as we say here.
It might take me a long time to learn.
But I will take my time, as from today.
