Boules Rules


Out back at Chez Fonfon, on Birmingham's Five Points neighborhood, you'll find a boules court.  The rules were too good to pass up as I had a delightful lunch outside with friends last week.

Boules is a game played on France, similar to pétanque and bocce, which is played in Italy.

Blue Door


Some of you might look at this great blue door and think I've high tailed it off to the south of France ( I wish!) or Italy, but many of my Birmingham area readers know exactly where this is.  I lunched at Chez Fonfon in 5 Points last week with some dear high school friends.  I snuck out in the back for a few quick shots.  When the weather is nice, you can dine there and watch or play a game of boules/pétanque if you like!
