TMP#2 Seattle has a Bouledrome
?
Here is the second of my Three Minute Puzzles
series. (or TMPs)
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.
The object of the game is to throw your balls
— usually with somewhat of an arched back-spin — so
that they land closer to the small object ball (cochonnet
)
than those of your opponent, or strike and drive
the object ball toward your other balls and away from your
opponent's.
Posted coordinates should put you in the
water.
The current form of the game originated in
