Origins of the classic lawn game Pentaque go back almost 2,000 years. Some say the game spread across Europe when introduced by soldiers of the Roman Empire. Others contend the game began around Provence. No matter how it originated, the game remains a delight to play, fun for individuals of every age and ability. That is why we think a landscaped boule court is a wonderful addition to The Thoms Estate, promoting a relaxing sport in an atmosphere of fun and fellowship.
