Petanque is a French outdoor game that involves players throwing hollow steel balls, called boules, toward a smaller target ball known as the cochonnet or jack. Typically played on a gravel or dirt surface, the objective is to place your boules as close to the cochonnet as possible while also trying to knock your opponents' boules away. It can be played individually or in teams, and the game emphasizes skill, strategy, and precision. Petanque is popular in many countries and is often played in parks, streets, or dedicated courts.

Petanque balls are typically made from metal alloys such as steel or stainless steel. These materials are durable and heavy enough to provide the right amount of weight for the balls to roll accurately on the playing surface. Some higher-end petanque balls may be made from bronze or brass for a more premium feel.
