The older kids participated in a Boules Tournament sponsored by the "Over 50's"; although it looked to me like most members could have joined the "Over 70s" club. Each child was paired up with a clubmember and they played a round robin in the school yard.
I have to say that Boules is a very fun game that every age can enjoy. The classic gravel/stone/sand surface exists in every hamlet and town. We have had a few games that have thrilled us by not always winning when we expected to and winning when we didn't. The couchonet - little pig - is the key target. It's a little ball about 1/3 the size of the balls of play. Buying extra couchonet or making-do with a pine cone was sometimes necessary.
Josette was a member of the club. She was our lifesaver on several occasions as she organizes the house we rented. She knew the plumber and the electrician's phone number when each was needed!
