On Sunday, a friendly panache game will be held, with Foyot pitted against prominent Petanque players from the region. Partners will change in each game, so everyone, including beginners, will have the opportunity to play with or against Foyot.
Foyot's skills at the ancient game of throwing 'boules' are so highly regarded that he served as technical adviser in the just-released movie 'Les Invincibles' starring Gerard Depardieu.
