Today we had a Boules tournament at the campground. This is a tradition at the Ardeche campsite and hads been held for at least 5 years annually. Boules is a French game where a small wooden ball is thrown at least 20 feet away and the players try to get as close to the ball without touching it with metal balls. We played our tournament so that teams of two played against each other to 13 points. The players on the winning team got points for a win, the losing players for a loss and the top 8 in wins went on to the semi final.
Unfortunately I placed 13th and didn't get into the semi final. The 8 finalists were also on teams of two, so two people won the 1st place prizes. Interestingly, the draw put out two teams with people from our 'corner' of the campground where the Germans camp, and two teams with people from another part of the campsite. One team from our 'corner' advanced to the final and so did one team from the other part. The final winners of the boules tournament were Joe and Winni from our part of the campsite. Prizes were given to all the finalists and the 'Lucky loser', the winner of the game between the two worst Boules players.
