You have heard the expression “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” Well, when you are in Paris you should do as the Parisians do. That means playing a game of boules, the relaxing activity the French like to think of as a “sport.” Every man, woman and child in France has played the game and played to win. It is as French as “pommes frites” and as amusing as a 2CV. Your playground for the evening is one of the most intimate gardens in Paris, just steps from the Louvre. You will learn how to throw the boules in the company of expert Parisian instructors, who will also provide that other essential French ingredient, a glass of wine (or soft drink if you prefer). So sign up for this amusing activity “ce soir.” It takes place every evening at 5.30 pm and requires no special equipment or experience. Just bring your enthusiasm and prepare for a laugh.
