Pétanque (Boules)
Petanque is extremely simple, just like horseshoes. There's a target,
and you have to get as close to it as possible.What makes it so
appealing, is that you can be way ahead for a while, yet lose a second
later, or vice versa. Because nothing is decided until the last player
plays the very last boule. If he or she moves the aim ball or kicks an
opponent ball out of the way, the layout of the boules - and thus your
score - may change dramatically.
We've all seen photos of old men in
Provence playing under the great plane trees. But after school and on
weekends, everyone who wants to relax and be outdoors joins in. And it
is growing in popularity in the U.S.
Our set contains 6 chrome-plated steel balls,
the cochonnet (the small target ball), a measuring string, and a set of rules, packed in a
sturdy canvas case with handle. Anyone can play: join the fun!
