Boule

The game of Boules or "Pétanque" originated in France, and has since become a popular garden game enjoyed by many around the world. Game play is similar to Bocce ball in that the goal is to place your own balls as close as possible to a smaller target ball or to shoot the opposing balls away from the target ball.  Although the game can be played almost anywhere it is important that the space is free of obstacles and the area is fairly flat. The boule balls are made of metal and become more and more beautiful through use as they develop character and patina. The unusual carrying frame, made of walnut, steel and leather, turns the set into a decorative object. Designed by Thomas Steuri and crafted by local Swiss manufacturers. This outdoor gaming set demonstrates an elegance in simplicity, a passion for craft, and the pleasure we take in the unexpected. This is our final Boule set and unfortunately does not have product packaging.
