Play ball!
Mar. 16th, 2008 08:07 pmI found this postcard today.
"Place du Sud. Le Jeu de Balle" which the web-translators claim is "South Place. The game of ball." But which game of ball??
I linked it to a bigger version (as good as I could get). Interesting in other ways too like the line of spectators, double in places, right around and even on that inside bit; or the person watching from the horse & cart on the right; or the rotunda thing on the left that appears to covering part of the road
EDIT: Jeu de Balle seems likely. Oh, that's what it says on the post card :)
Jeu de paume ou jeu de balle, with photos.
