The tournament "The French spring" which took place on the 17th of April on the grounds of the petanque club "TABBY" in Gorky park, has traditionally opened a new season of the famous French game in Kharkov.

The third annual ‪#‎petanque‬ tournament «The French spring ", which took place in the framework of the cultural festival of the same name, has become a highly anticipated event for all Kharkiv fans of #petanque, which during a long winter have had a thirst for the favourite game. The petanque club "TABBY" opens its new season, which will last until late autumn. However, the games will not stop with the arrival of the cold, because finally our club has sports hall that will allow everyone to play the game even in the winter. 
The tournament «The French spring " is also remarkable in that it allows for experienced players to meet on the same field with beginners who hardly know the rules of the game. The tournament this year was no exception, and half of the players were novices. In each team, there were experienced and unexperienced players. According to Dmitry Mezev, the director of the club "TABBY" that is the essential purpose of this tournament: to give novices a possibility to master the game, understand its rules and tricks under the guidance of experienced players.
