Pétanque

 

5:30 to 9:00 p.m: The coolest and most classic French sport ever, pétanque has been played on the place publique of each town and village in the south of France for centuries. All you have to do is get close to the cochonnet [ko-sho-ney]… and pretend you’re in Marseille or a village en Provence! Volunteers will be on-hand to demonstrate the game, show you how to play, and organize casual games on one of our two courses. To get an avant-goût, check this out. Come wearing a striped t-shirt and a bandana! Allez-y !

Real Binz

 

 

Real Binz brings together the stateside swagger of drummer Mike, the haul and hum of bassist Stuart, the bravado of Brennan’s lyrics and enough in-your-face French attitude from lead guitarist Julien to make you pronounce “Illinois” right. Special guest Asha takes point on some new french classics to lead into the celebratory night.
