Petanque originated in France in 1907 but is played all over Europe and in varying forms all over the world. Basically players in teams of one, two or three a side throw up to three metals balls (boules), alternatively on a gravel piste to get nearest to a small wooden ball (cochonnet). The nearest at the end when all boules have been played wins the points. This continues at alternate ends until a score of 13 is reached.
