Boule is a traditional French game that involves throwing metal balls, known as boules, towards a smaller target ball called the cochonnet. The objective is to place your boules as close as possible to the cochonnet, which is typically made of wood. Boule is often played on gravel or dirt surfaces, making it suitable for outdoor gatherings and competitions. The game can be played individually or in teams, with players taking turns to throw their boules. Boule is popular in many countries and is often associated with social gatherings, picnics, and community events. It is a game that emphasizes skill, strategy, and precision.
