Add to Lightbox DownloadHere, Eileen Zidi of Yorktown Heights celebrates a successful toss during a game of petanque. The goal of the game is to throw metal "boules" (balls) as close as possible to a small ball called a "cochonnet" (jack)..---.Members of the Petanque Club of Westchester gather in the parking lot at Peter Pratt's Inn (673 Croton Heights Road) in Yorktown Heights to play the traditional outdoor bowling game from the South of France. According to Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org), "the name is derived from the term pieds tanqués, which in the Marseilles dialect of French means 'stuck feet', because in Pétanque the feet have to remain fixed together within a (small) circle."..CREDIT: Rob Bennett for The NY Times
