Being pedantic, ‘Boules’ is really the name both for the boules that you play with and also the generic name for a family of boules game. Pétanque, played from 6 – 10m with both feet together in the circle is by far the most popular, to the extent that it has also become practically synonymous with ‘boules’.
The other main games are:
- Le Jeu Provençal, or La Longue: played with the same boules as pétanque but over a longer distance 15 – 21m. The main differences are that the pointer takes a step out of the circle and the shooter takes 3 running steps and shots.
- Boules Lyonnaise: played with larger boules and again over a longer distance. Although the principle is similar with pointers and shooters the rules are stricter. For example: when shooting you must nominate the target boule and land within 50cm for the shot to be valid.
