Background information about Boule, Pétanque:
In the narrower sense, the term "Boule" (from French la boule "the ball", "the ball") or Boule game only briefly for the ball sport "Boule Lyonnaise", the so-called "sports boule".
In Germany, however, "Boule" (as well as the word "Boccia") is colloquially used more as a collective name for all ball sports, as well as in this article. In addition to the already mentioned "Boule Lyonnaise", the ball sports also include the "Jeu Provençal" derived from it, its offshoot "Pétanque", the British "Bowls" and the Italian "Boccia" (also called "Raffa"). In addition to these five "official" ball sports, there are other regional sports or ball games that have similar rules, such. Boule-en-Bois, Boule-de-Fort, Boule-des-Berges and Boule bretonne.
With "Boule" many Germans connect but also by the French in public places discharged leisure ball game. The correct name for this is however "Pétanque". With around 600,000 license players in 76 (national) pétanque associations, it is the most widely used ball sport. (Source: Wikipedia)
