Boules

The game of boules, otherwise known as pétanque , is perhaps the sport that is closest to French hearts. Similar to British lawn bowling or Italian bocce , the French version is traditionally played with metallic balls on a dirt surface beneath plane trees, with a glass of pastis at hand. The local boulodrome is a social focal point in southern France.

French leave their popularized game boules in Pondicherry and now also it is played as an outdoor game played with large iron balls. The players roll the large iron balls towards a small one and get as close to it as possible.

The game is played nowhere else in the country. Early only the soldats played this , but now many have taken to it. Nearly 30 boules clubs function in the city. Usually a 13m long and 8 m broad ground is chosen to play tournaments. The iron balls weigh 650-800 g and are imported from France.
