Petanque: Petanque Club of Westchester at Peter Pratt Inn
Add to Lightbox DownloadHere, Georges Zidi, 50 and of Yorktown Heights, eats a sandwich while tossing a metal ball, called a "boule", during a game of petanque. The game is normally played on hard dirt or gravel, but can also be played on grass or other surfaces. .---.Members of the Petanque Club of Westchester gather in the parking lot at Peter Pratt's Inn (673 Croton Heights Road) in Yorktown Heights to play the traditional outdoor bowling game from the South of France. According to Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org), "the name is derived from the term pieds tanqués, which in the Marseilles dialect of French means 'stuck feet', because in Pétanque the feet have to remain fixed together within a (small) circle."..CREDIT: Rob Bennett for The NY Times
