FR La pétanque, la longue, la lyonnaise, ...
En Provence, on joue à diverses variante de ce jeu de boules et chaque village a son terrain.
Souvent en France, les terrains n'ont pas de panneaux particuliers car tout le monde sait les reconnaître par ses caractéristiques :
* un terrain plat
* du sable avec un peu de gravier
* des anciens poteaux téléphoniques en bois pour arrêter les boules
* ... un bar pas loin pour la Fanny
Ces terrains ne sont généralement pas gérés par des clubs mais directement par la mairie. Ils sont accessibles à tous, librement et gratuitement ... sauf en cas de compétition locale.
Hors compétition, les lignes de jeux sont assez rare car les joueurs aiment bien partir dans toutes les directions d'une mène à l'autre ... ou pour rester à l'ombre.
Ici le terrain est fermé par des aies, des grillages, des petits murets et, c'est extrèmement rare, un panneau indique "Terrain de Boules".
EN The petanque, the long one, the Lyonnaise,...
In Provence, various variations of this game of balls are played and each village has its own field.
Often in France, the grounds do not have any particular signs because everyone knows how to recognize them by their characteristics:
* a flat ground
* sand with some gravel
* old wooden telephone poles to stop the balls
*... a bar not far away for the Fanny
These courses are generally not managed by clubs but directly by the town hall. They are accessible to all, freely and without charge... except in the event of local competition.
Out of competition, the game lines are quite rare because the players like to go in all directions from one direction to the other... or to stay in the shade.
Here the land is closed by grooves, fences, small walls and, it is extremely rare, a sign indicates "Terrain de Boules".
