BOULES

This popular French game takes several forms, including « pétanque », which originated in the South of France. The idea of the game is to throw steel balls towards a small wooden ball called the « cochonnet », if necessary knocking one's opponent's boules out of the way in the process. The winner is the player who finishes closest to the « cochonnet ».
