What can be better than pairing Pétanque, Pastis and Smith Street?
Of course the great music, delicious food and drinks are reason enough to love this event, but what makes it super fun is the Pétanque tournament. It is North America's largest tournament, with more than 80 teams taking part in 2009. For that purpose, a few blocks of Smith Street will be closed and turned into a giant sandbox, or rather, Pétanque courts.
Bar Tabac is at 128 Smith Street at Dean Street. The Bastille Day celebration will start at 12 PM and will continue till 10pm.
For further information, go to Bar Tabac's web site or check out the official Brooklyn Boule Blog
To hold you over, here is a wonderful little video clip taken from Marcel Pagnol's movie Fanny, featuring the great French comic actor César as Rému.

Hi Kaje,
I love Found In Brooklyn. The author is a good friend of mine!
I took the information for the tournament directly from the Bar Tabac web site. They are the organizers. On the website, they write that it is the 7th tournament.
It is a great even. Can't wait!
