Playing pétanque is the new trendy snobbism at happy hour that instantly makes you feel as though you were on a small place in Provence.
The ideal spot to show your aptitude at this typical game from the South of France is naturally at the heart of mode bobo-land, aka canal de l'Ourcq at the terrace of a small lavender blue café: the BarOurcq.
Settle in a deck chair for a tan op and at happy hour wash down a pint of fresh beer (6€) while playing pétanque-- the BarOurcq lends you everything you need for the game! You can almost hear the crickets!
A hunger pang? During the weekend take advantage of the their plates of charcuteries and cheese (7€). Baguettes-sandwiches (4€) or tapas (all week long) such as their small sausage rolls 1,50€.
We adore: their ginger juice made by « local African mamas», delicious and wildly refreshing, to be tasted urgently!
