[FR] Société de jeux de boule de Fort "Les Paletots Rapés", Luynes (FRA). La société fut fondée en 1913.

La boule de fort est un jeu de boule traditionnel en Val de Loire. La boule utilisée a son centre de gravité légèrement décalé (côté fort) par rapport à la bande de roulement (cercle de métal), ce qui a pour conséquence qu'elle ne suit jamais une trajectoire rectiligne. Le terrain a ses bords relevés, extrêmement « roulant », et la fait lentement zigzaguer. La boule de fort est classée comme jeu traditionnel dans l'Inventaire du patrimoine culturel immatériel français par le ministère de la Culture.

The fort ball is classified as a traditional game in the Inventory of French intangible cultural heritage by the Ministry of Culture.
