Boule de fort la Renaissance, à Juigné-sur-Loire

Discover this typical Anjou game, a real cultural phenomenon in the region.

This not-quite-round ball is thrown on a not-quite-flat pitch. On a curved track, the players try to get as close as possible to a jack, known here as the "Master". La boule fort is played in "sociétés". There are still almost 300 of them in Anjou, competing in challenges.
