Well, Louis Vuitton has done it again!  They've paid homage to the popular sport of Pétanque ... and have come up with a fabulous monogram Pétanque set, with its own case.  The balls are each weighted  so that they feel the same as playing with the traditional metal balls.

You've heard of Pétanque, right?  Yeah, me neither... read on if you're interested!

Apparently this lawn bowling type game is HUGE in the South of France.  It was originated in Marseilles and is now huge all throughout Province.  According to Wiki, almost 17 MILLION of our French neighbors play Pétanque annually!
