CITY HISTORY:
La Ciotat Land of history... Men have always been attracted and retained by the protective haven of the Gulf of La Ciotat. The excavations of Ellianac and the cave of Terrevaine attest to a human presence with the establishment of sedentary tribes in the final Neolithic period (3000 – 2000 BC). It is estimated that the installation of the first settlement on the maritime route of ancient navigators dates back to the 5th century BC. The "charter of 1429" explains how La Ciotat became
a commune.
INVENTIONS :
LA CIOTAT CRADLE OF CINEMA - During the summer of 1895, taking advantage of the family stay at the Palais Lumière built in La Ciotat, Louis Lumière perfected the cinematograph and began to shoot some thirty films among the first in the history of cinema: The train entering the station at La Ciotat, The sprinkler sprinkled, Childish Quarrel. The first public screening took place in the Grand Salon of the Palais Lumière on September 21, 1895 (a few weeks before Paris…) and made La Ciotat the true cradle of cinema. Every year since 1981, the Festival of the first French-speaking film of La Ciotat Berceau du Cinéma perpetuates this considerable event. Find all the information about the Eden-Théâtre Cinema.
Birth of Petanque
It was in 1910 that petanque was born in La Ciotat, at the Jeu de Boules Béraud operated by the Pitiot brothers.
Indeed, the great players of the Provençal game of the region met at the Jeu de Boules Béraud.
Spectators were authorized for 0.05 Francs to take chairs to attend the games, but as they often stopped the balls drawn because they did not get up quickly enough, the players demanded the removal of the chairs: which was done.
Jules Le Noir, a shopkeeper from La Ciotat, crippled with rheumatism, was authorized to have a chair on condition that he remained in a circle drawn on the ground.
Sitting, Jules Le Noir had fun shooting at 1.50 or 2 meters.
One day, to please him, Monsieur Pitiot suggested that he play a game “les pieds tanqués” which meant his feet glued to the ground.
This is how the game "les pieds tanqués" was born, which became "petanque".
