If you spend 10 seconds on each of our postcards it will take you close to 4 hours to look at them all! Or do one every day, and finish in about 3.5 years! We have reached 1300 postcards online.
Jac Verheul is the man behind our postcard-collection. He has been collection postcards related to petanque for more years than most of you have been playing petanque.
Every holliday he goes off to France to dive into stores selling old books and postcards, and he has generously shared his entire collection of postcards with the world here at petanque.org.
