Aubusson Tapestry - Petanque Scene - XIX E. Century - 240hx200l N° 1141

The game of boules is said to have originated in Gaul. Balls were first made of clay, stone, then wood and finally steel, but after the "bouleurs" of the Middle Ages, the golden age of balls of all kinds was certainly the Renaissance where the nobility takes over the game in the same way as bilboquet and tennis (which will become tennis). For obscure reasons, the game was forbidden to the people in 1629, a ban that was not followed and quickly lifted. In the 18th century the game remained very popular, so much so that Diderot and D'Alembert's Encyclopedia mentions it. The French Revolution by abolishing the privileges of the nobility again legalized the practice of gambling for all.
