Pétanque is a form of boules that derives from the expression pès tancats [ˈpɛs taŋˈkats], meaning ‘feet together’.

A relatively simple but fun and sociable game, the aim is to throw hollow metal balls as close as possible to a small wooden ball called a cochonnet (literally “piglet”) or jack, while standing inside a starting circle with both feet on the ground (Pétanque).
