What is Petanque?

Petanque is a sport similar to the more widely know Bocce, in which players throw a ball as close to a target ball as possible.  Points are scored based on which balls are thrown closest to the target.  Petanque originated in France, is widely played in many countries, and has been gaining in popularity in the U.S.
