A great principle: "gaining ground". The ball is struck with the wrist protected by a strip of cloth. The land side of the shooting team, urged the party. It must send the ball beyond the line of rope. The two teams of 6 players spread over the entire field (length: 65 m, width 12 m), refer directly to the ball fly or first bounce (the passes are allowed). In the case where the ball would have been returned before the 2nd bond (that it takes place inside or outside the field), we will identify the point where he has been arrested, or place he has crossed the line by placing a small mobile post called "hunting". This "hunting" will be placed on a longitudinal lines ground to the extreme point reached by the balloon. Hunting thus indicates an imaginary line which separates the field into 2 parts. When she is asked, the 2 teams change sides. It is now for them to send the ball into the camp of the enemy so defined, so that he can resume and mark it as a "fifteen". To mark a game, it takes four "fifteen" (15, 30, 40 and play). The team that first reaches 7 games to clinch the win the game.

It is the ancestor ball game of tennis and squash courts whose origins date back to the Middle Ages. From the Renaissance to the Revolution, was the game of kings especially under the reign of Louis XIII (1610-1643).
