- About the time of World War I, almost half-a-million Armenian refugees fled the Armenian genocide and settled in the Marseille area, where they learned both French and petanque. Later, many of those French-speaking, petanque-playing French-Armenians emigrated to Worcester, MA, which is today home to a significant Armenian-French-American community. What began as the Le Mistral club in Worcester eventually evolved into today's Boston Petanque Club
