Set in the heart of Provence during the 1990s, resonant with the sound of the cicadas and the distinctive metallic clunk of petanque boules, the author tells the captivating story of a young petanque prodigy from the town of La Farlède. We relive his first steps on the local terrains — a child who in the course of time would become the world’s best player. From his earliest competitions on the sandy gravel surfaces in the South of France, to his first world titles, we experience the world of petanque and the unique atmosphere of its greatest competitions, as we follow the amazing path to stardom of Henri Lacroix.
