Just as cricket is that national past time for the English, bowls is enjoyed by the French. It is however a much more relaxed affair. All is required is a set of bowls and a flattish piece of ground. This game is played throughout France, throughout the year. Yesterday, I saw two or three games in different village squares in full swing. This game does however appear to be just for the men...I have yet to see a woman play !!
