THE "QUILLES" GAME

Second sport of the Aveyron in terms of licensees, after football, the keel of eight is a local sport that you must discover absolutely when you come to visit us!

It is about skill sport where the pitcher has to send a ball that can weigh from 4 to 6 kg on a keel (called the player keel) which has to make fall the other pins being a little further away.

The game takes place on 9 shots spread over 5 different distances: 1 meter (1 shot), then 5 meters (2 shots), then 10 meters (3 shots), then 15 meters (2 shots), and finally 20 meters (1 shot) stroke.

Sport became official from 1912, it has since crossed the borders of the department and we can thus find clubs in Montpellier, Toulouse and even two on Paris!
