Boules /bul/ is a collective name for games played with metal balls.

Two of the most played boule games are pétanque and jeu provençal.

The aim of the game is to get your large, heavy balls as close to the small, white 'jack'. The winner is the player whose ball is closest to the jack. It is also referred to as 'Bowls'.
