The sociable leisure activity
Boule, also known as pétanque, is a traditional French ball game in which players try to throw their metal balls as close as possible to a small target ball, the “Jack”. The game combines skill and strategy. Boules is a sociable game that is popular in France both as a leisure activity and as a competitive sport and is often enjoyed with good company and a glass of pastis.
On the Gurten, the boules court in front of the Bahnhöfli outdoor stand can be used for a game of boules as a team activity. The boules team activity includes ball hire, drinks and a small snack.
