Pétanque and the Jack

Pétanque is a form of boules where the goal is to toss or roll hollow steel balls as close as possible to a small wooden ball called a cochonnet (literally "piglet") or JACK, while standing inside a circle with both feet on the ground.

Superb shot! Love your selective focus here.
And I learned a new game as well! Sounds like it would be fun to play.

This is so cool. I am now kicking myself that I didn't think of the jack in my set of pétanque bowls. It looks very similar to this however you have captured it perfectly. Do you play it in summer with the obligatory glass of wine between games? That's the French way I hear. I see you have captured an incidental selfie too.
