What is Pétanque?
Pétanque is the best-known and most popular variation of the French game of boules (bowls) and can be played almost anywhere and by all ages. Forget those images of old men in berets playing in parks and squares - the game is now a televised spectator sport in France and currently played in over 50 countries worldwide.
