Pétanque

Team bowls sport where the boule is thrown, not rolled

Pétanque (French: [petɑ̃k] , locally in Provence [peˈtãᵑkə]; Occitan: petanca [peˈtaŋkɔ] ; Spanish: petanca [peˈtaŋka]; Catalan: petanca [pəˈtaŋkə]) is a sport that falls into the category of boules sports (along with raffa, bocce, boule lyonnaise, lawn bowls, and crown green bowling). In these sports, players or teams play their boules/balls towards a target ball. In pétanque, the objective is to score points by positioning one's boules closer to the target ball than those of the opponent after all boules have been thrown.
