Pétanque America Open takes place on November 13 – 14, 2010. Amelia Island is the only community in the United States to have experienced life under eight different flags, and the first flag was the French. Fernandina turns French again when 2010 Pétanque America Open comes to town. Players from all over will be decending upon Amelia Island to play pétanque, (pron. „pay-tonk’) the French cousin of horseshoes and “bocce†ball. on Downtown Fernandina Beach will look and sound like the Promenade des Anglais in Nice or the Croisette in Cannes.
