Pétanque Tournament and Picnic
Similar to bocces,
pétanque is a game where the goal is, while standing inside a
starting circle with both feet on the ground, to throw hollow
metal balls as close as possible to a small wooden ball called a
cochonnet (literally "piglet") or jack. The game is
normally played on hard dirt or gravel, but can also be played
on grass, sand or other surfaces.
