A lot of people will be asking “why are you doing a video on this sport when you said you wouldn’t?” Well … I’ve been watching a lot of French TV and films in French to brush up on my multi-linguistic skills. Been watching a lot of Pétanque games online and never realized that it’s incredibly popular in France. To be honest, it’s actually a really good sport to watch! Hence the video.

As a french viewer, I can insure you it's pretty popular, especially on vacation during summer, and extremely popular in the south of france, because it was born there and almost every village has a "boulodrome" on which you can play a game. Even in villages up north in france you can still find a boulodrome. Pétanque is basically the unofficial french national sport.

@NinhLyUK 3 года назад

Oui, c'est très populaire en France. J'ai joué à un match avec quelqu'un à Marseille cette année. C'est amusant, mais pas facile à jouer!

this is the best garden game ever. It doesn't require great physical fitness, but it's a lot of fun. I bought the first set 10 years ago, prepared a field in the garden and it started. Whenever guests come, we play, have a barbecue and play. My parents who are older play. sometimes the neighbors come over and they also like to play something much better than bowling. It's worth trying - great entertainment for family and groups of friends.

I laughed so much when I saw the explanation of "FANNY". In the middle of a "formal" explanation of a game rules, knowing that one point of the rule is to kiss the arse of a girl named "Fanny" is hilarious ! It is sooooooo French ! I know, I'm one of them from the South of France. If I had had to explain the rule, I would not have dared saying it as it is more a "tradition" than a rule but coming from an English speaking person, I love it ! You made my day ! I had never thought of the picture. Now I'm going to make one and will use next time I fplay with my friends. Thanks for the great idea ! Lots of fun ahead

@michaelmacaraig2841 3 года назад

The name of the sport was derived from words in the provençal dialect meaning anchored foot. The inventor of the game was a bocce player who became arthritic. As a bocce required a run up to bowl, he created a new game where the boule was to be delivered with feet planted on the ground.

@NinhLyUK 3 года назад

Yes, I believe so.

@jeanluno2521 2 года назад

"Pétanque" comes from the southern France patois (occitan) : "PÈ" meaning "feet" and "TANCAR", verb meaning "stIck, fix". Meaning that both feet must remain still when playing.

@charlesvitanza8325 2 года назад

That explains why it seems so similar to bocce. Great extra info my dude.

@danielfiore8865 Год назад

So it's identical to bocce with feet planted?

@michaelmacaraig2841 Год назад

Bocce allows the player to take steps in the delivery. Pétanque requires the player to have both feet within a 0.5-meter diameter circle and part of both feet should remain in contact with the ground inside the circle.

The year of waiting and anticipation really didn’t help either.

@roawesomeface1947 Год назад

I want to add thay Pétanque features in the wonderful video game Disco Elysium. The player character can pick up a ball off the ground, and his interior physical strength encourages him to throw it like a baseball. Should it succeed, the ball is violently (but superbly) thrown into the ocean. Little did the player know that the ball was actually a boule, and that he had just disrupted two elderly men's Pétanque game. He must now find a replacement. Funny thing is, should his strength fail, the protagonist's throw would be perfect in the context of Pétanque!
