We now live in France and going to spectate an organised match and I wanted to know the rules, your explanation was very clear, thanks. I have an Obut set of boules at home but need to lay out a decent pitch.

It's an excellent video to learn boule/petanque! Is it possible to do it in german or french language as well? Or may be we are allowed to dub it?

Good grief, you could at least have someone who speaks proper English, without an accent, to provide the dialogue.
