A day of sun and fun at the Ricard Pétanque Tournament
On Saturday 19th June, London’s pétanque enthusiasts eagerly gathered in the Chelsea Physic Garden for Ricard’s annual Pétanque Tournament. Being one of them, I, of course, was there as well.
As the morning went on, the crowds kept coming. The games were heating up, Ricard panamas were slowly filling the garden, and the first merguez and steak sandwiches were sizzling on the BBQ ready to satisfy the players’ appetites.
Walking around it was fantastic to see the mix of people who had turned up. It was a completely different sight to the Southern French pétanque squares usually filled with older men whiling away the afternoon. Young and old where present, and with the traditional French game being played in an English botanical garden, and Ricard and Merguez being served: this was a cultural as well as a generational hotpot!
