1872 Boules Boulevard Gather Watch Watching
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1872, captures a lively scene of men playing boules on the historic Boulevard du Montparnasse, now known as Boulevard d'Enfer, in Paris, France. The boules game, a popular French pastime, is being played with intense focus and determination, as evidenced by the postures of the players. The onlookers, many of them dressed in top hats, gather round, their expressions revealing a mix of excitement, anticipation, and amusement. The bustling city of Paris serves as the perfect backdrop to this moment in time, with its grand architecture and lively street scene. The image transports us back to an era of history when leisure activities brought people together in community and camaraderie. This photograph is not only a testament to the enduring popularity of the game of boules but also a snapshot of a bygone era in the rich history of Paris and France.
