The French game of Bowls

Sorry about the spelling not to sure if I am right or not.............. anyway we spent a couple of hours sat watching the local men in the park playing their national game, very much the same as the English game of Bowls but slightly different, both played with extreme earnest.
If you look closely at the picture you can see where the trees have been worn away at the base of the trunks by constants hitting from the "bowls"
