is the most popular of the family of boule
games and perhaps the widest spread, from its origins in Provence across
Europe and in over 65 nations around the world.
Today there are some 583,026 licensed players around
the world with over 2,700 of them that are members of the English Pétanque
Association the governing body for the sport in England.
The game is normally played on hard dirt or gravel, you
play with a metal ball called a “boule” and a jack made from wood.
The aim of the game is to get as many or your boules
close to the jack than those of your opponent.
This is a family game that can be played socially and
more seriously at regional, national and international levels
