Jacques Biaggini participated in the development of the petanque game in the USA. A beautiful story thanks to Jean Bontemps president of PAM, Maurice Ebolitto president of la boule joyeuse, John Hill secretary of the club Joyeuse boule as well as his wife Gisèle Hill. Here are some pictures and souvenirs that tell a great story of determination and persistence to promote the French culture in America. The petanque game is part of the French culture as baseball is part of the American culture. The American folks are part of an open and friendly nation and thanks to people as Jacques Biaggini this 2000 year old French national heritage survives in the USA.
