Boulenciel is an Italian brand from Data F., a workshop founded in 1952 near Turin. It made its name with the first colored metal boule, and the color runs through the whole steel, not just the outer layer. The competition range is FIPJP approved and comes in tender, half tender and hard versions, with models named after planets like Venus, Mars and Saturne. There is also a soft 72 mm set of six boules at about 680 grams each for indoor play without wrecking the floor.
It fits players who want something other than plain grey steel and still legal for club matches. The colored finish makes it easy to spot your own boules on the pitch. The soft indoor set is handy for kids, an office break or a rainy day. Anyone after the cheapest leisure boules may look elsewhere, since these sit in the mid to upper price range, and finding a dealer outside France and Italy can take some digging.
