It is at the very heart of the Guingamp tourist office that you can visit this original museum created 12 years ago. As a result, it attracts a lot of tourists among tourists who generally find it somewhat unexpected. Boules of all kinds in boxes, unbreakable, wooden gaiac imported from Santo Domingo, spike by hand to play on the snow or ice, synthetic or plastic, loud balls, morlaisiennes, lyon, English or Moroccan boules, and other objects have been collected. The museum is therefore not limited to the Breton Ball which is part of the local heritage. However, the exhibition also highlights the names of large local players. The balls add many memories of the city's inhabitants. But what is the difference between the Breton ball and the bowls? This is the recurring question of visitors to the museum. Visit it and you will undoubtedly have the answer.

Car, à Guingamp on joue à la boule bretonne. D'un diamètre de 92 millimètres et pesant de 640 grammes à 1 kilo, la boule en plastique est désormais fabriquée en Italie. Le mercredi après-midi Hyacinthe Richard et Job Guéguen encadrent les jeunes dans ce club qui recrute large, les adhérents ayant de 6 à 87 ans. A la boule bretonne, l'allée sablée mesure de 16 à 18 mètres, selon la région (partie ouest des Côtes d'Armor ou Morbihan). 6 écoles, 18 clubs d'adhérents au Comité Départementa
