Quai de la Loire, 19th arrondissement. You order at the counter, ask for the boules, leave an ID, and go and play on the quay with your drink in a deposit-return cup. Deckchairs and board games work the same way. Pints sit at around 6€ and the room has never been big enough for the number of people who want to be in it, so from late afternoon everything happens outside, along the water. The mechanic does the work on its own: pétanque needs teams. Turn up as two and you go looking for a third. Nobody arrives equipped, everyone borrows from the same bar, and that puts every player at exactly the same level of approximate. In August the games run into each other until the light goes.
