As I have said, we still play bridge about 3-4 times a week,
I hope this shows how important bridge has been throughout
our married life. more about sailing etc. later. The pictures
below are of one place we play. They were taken last Sunday.
We had 15 tables, which is about average for this time of the year.
This part of the country is a hot bed for duplicate bridge.
You can play twice a day, seven days a week if you want too!

well i have always heard that playing bridge is very difficult but i don't know if it's true
I've never heard of anybody playing bridge around here, we play games like "tarot" or "belote" but i don't know the english names or even if it exists abroad!
If you can, go to www.eurobridge.org
Bridge is international in scope. It is most popular in this country, but flourishes in Great Britain, Italy, and other countries too, inclyding France.
If you can use Google, you will vind countless references to bridge.

well i've been to http://www.provencebridge.com/
and it's funny because the provence bridge commitee is just next door to my house! if you click on this link you will see the photos are of my town (the big port and also the illuminated church on top of a mountain)
i've been through their site and i was wondering why people are supposed to pay for each competition, are they earning money if they win?
I went to the provencebridge
site, but I can't read French!
Of course there is all kinds of bridge played for money. It's mostly what we call Rubber Bridge.
But the bridge I'm talking about, and I suspect your provence site
sponsers is Duplicate Bridge. We pay a fee to play, but there is no money involved! We are playing for master points, which is the way we rate ourselves against others. There are various levels we reach as we win points. Life master, bronze life master, silver life mater etc. Hope I haven't completely confused you! Try the site ACBL.com

no no you didn't confuse me but then where does all this money go?
and -pardon my studip question- do you play with normal cards like a normal 32 or 54 cards?
The money involved, at least here, for duplicate bridge is used for fees to the national organisation, paying the director, maybe modest fees for rent, etc. We play with a 52 card deck, 4 suits, A thru duece,no jokers.
