This is an attempt at making a good faq for the game of petanque. All questions that are directly related to the game and it's basic rules should be included here. The questions and answers are meant for beginners - so please keep it easy to understand for non-players.

On the other hand, some years ago I was délégué for the Irish team at the World Championships, where they have marked pistes making up an indoor terrain . Everyone knows, of course, that the lingua franca of the FIPJP is French. Presenting myself at the table for the first game, I asked Quelle piste? , or perhaps Quel piste? and they laughed themselves stupid. Not piste, they said, but terrain: and it is certainly true that at every World Chapionships the pistes are referred to as terrains.

In France, a terrain is also a piste. See Article 18, en français.

Terrain is the whole area that’s available to play on and Piste is a usually marked out area for a single game, i.e. a Terrain will often be divided into several Pistes for competitions.
Playing on Open Terrain means that several games take place simultaneously on the same terrain but without marking separate pistes.
Terrains in France are sometimes called Boulodromes. These tend to be larger, specially built and designated areas.
Tennis is played on a Court - not petanque!
