2 ... 2 ...
Yesterday - three boules. Today, two - note the precise way the hand is balancing the ball - not holding it tight. You can sense the reverence here.
In the smaller photograph, a lady (more men play than women but yes, women certainly play too) holds her boule in a cloth, which she'll use to ensure the boule is free from dust and grit.
Boules are heavy, by the way - solid metal and weighing around 800 grams (or just under) - that's about 1.76 lbs.
