Escargot Playing Petanque
Funny animated video about snails who play petanque (and of course argue whether to point or shoot!)
I found this little clip on the Petanque America blog from an old french movie:
Monday, February 19, 2007 Pagnol & boules
The other day I mentioned French writer Marcel Pagnol. The motion pictures Jean de Florette and its sequel Manon des Sources were based on his novels. I just found the famous scene from his 1932 movie "Fanny", when a Marseille tram has to await the end of a boules game. The "capitaine" shoots and wins, but César - in colorful language loaded with hyperbole - disputes the win claiming he took one, if not two steps too many. The rest of the 3:36 clip is another argument over who is the biggest liar in town but it ends in total harmony over a glass of pastis. CHECK IT OUT BELOW:
