About Boule
Boule as we say here in Sweden is actually called Pétanque in France, which means “to stand on both feet”. In France, people started playing boules already in the Middle Ages. Bowling had such effects that Charles V in the 14th century enacted a law banning the game. He discovered that his soldiers preferred to practice boules instead of martial arts.
With Prince Bertil (1912 – 1997), the game’s popularity grew in Sweden. The prince was a devoted boules player who learned to appreciate the sport during his stays in St. Maxime on the French Riviera.
How to play Boule
The basics of bowling are very simple. They don’t take many minutes to learn. But then you can spend as much time as you want on becoming a good or better bowler.
The game consists of throwing the 12 balls against a small ball (called the Lillen) and getting points for the balls, yourself or your own team, placed closer to the Lillen than the opposing team’s.
1 point gets the ball that is closest to Lille. If the same player or team has several balls closer to Lille than the opponents, you get an additional point for each such ball.
A player from the team that won the last round now draws a new circle in the place where the Little is and throws it out again 5-10 meters from the ring. The game continues until either team reaches 13 points.
Good luck!
