During a work trip to the South of France this week I came across these gents playing the French game of Boules....
Boules (French IPA: [bul]) is a collective name for games played with metal balls.
Two of the most played boule games are pétanque and boule lyonnaise. The aim of the game is to get large, heavy, balls as close to the small, 'jack'. It is very popular especially in France where it may often be seen played in any open space in villages and towns. It is also referred to as 'Bowls'.
