[traces of "bocce ball" in the park [les halles]]
wikipedia: "Bocce is played on dirt courts approximately 20 to 30 metres in length and 2.5 to 4 metres wide. Bocce balls can be made of bronze, compressed wood, or various kinds of plastic. Unlike lawn bowls, bocce balls are spherical and have no inbuilt bias (they will roll a straight course).
A match is started by a randomly chosen side being given the opportunity to throw a smaller ball, the jack (called a pallino or boccino in some areas), from one end of the court into a zone about 5 metres in length, ending 2 metres from the far end of the court. If they miss twice, the other team is awarded the opportunity to roll the pallino anywhere they choose within the prescribed zone. If neither team is able to roll the pallino into play as prescribed in the rules, then the pallino is placed on a spot that is marked on the court. At this time the team that attempted to put the pallino into play first gets to roll the first ball."
