Collioure, France (courtesy of Homage to Barcelona). Real-world obstacles — trees, a light post, a sewer cover. Nice shady trees, a few benches for spectators, a gentleman walking his dog. This is real petanque.

An open terrain in L’Île-Rousse, a commune in the Haute-Corse département of Corsica, France.

A park in Orange, France.

The petanque club in Revel, France holds a tournament in the town park.

The Cote d’Azur.
