The national sport is cycling. They, like almost everyone else in the world, play Association Football. They also play Rugby Football (mainly in the south) and tennis. Horse racing (especially trotting) is widespread, as are other equestrian sports. This does not mean that minority sports like Badminton, Table Tennis and volleyball don't get played in France, but they have never displayed any taste for cricket, baseball or American football.
However, the sport most played in France has to be BOULE. There are many varieties of this, but the commonest is Pétanque, played with steel balls (originally cannon balls) on any old piece of waste ground or, at competition level, in a Boulodrome.
French people play a variety of sports just like any other country. Soccer, rugby and tennis are three of the most prominent sports. Handball, badminton, ping-pong and Basketball come in close behind.
