Boules
Description:
Boules is a collective name for a wide range of games in which the objective is to throw or roll heavy balls (called boules in France, and bocce in Italy) as close as possible to a small target ball.
Boules games may be sub-divided into two categories based on typical throwing technique:
- games where the balls are rolled (for example, bocce)
- games where the balls are thrown (for example, pétanque, bocce volo)
