Lawn Games: Petanque from Provence

May 23, 2012

With origins in Provence, Petanque is often played in the company of aperitifs, which makes it worth adding to your repertoire of summer lawn games, in our book.

Petanque is more than just a version of the Italian game of bocce. It's less of a bowling game and more of a tossing game; the aim is to propel the ball as close as possible to the target. For more information, visit Pentanque for the official rules.
