Les Vedettes du Lez is the open-air guinguette at Marché du Lez, at 1348 avenue Raymond-Dugrand. Two pétanque courts sit at the centre of the action, surrounded by a cocktail and wine bar and a large terrace. It is the kind of spot where the activity does the work that many bars leave to conversation: ask whether a team needs another player, comment on a good shot or suggest a rematch. Shared tastes become visible fairly quickly when everyone is playing by the same rules.
