Boules, otherwise known as pétanque. The small object ball (cochonnet ) is behind the front boule.

Years ago we used to play this at our local, unfortunately after 6 pints of Old Speckled Hen my hand, eye co-ordination went out the window.

Looks at bit fast paced for me I think I'll stick to motorsports

Along with the Boules?

I've spent a few hours watching the French play this game, it's the only time I've seen a Frenchman run!

You've not fought one, then?

no, couldn't get close enough!

Must add I have some VERY good French friends. Their views on life are so laid back...
