Paille-maille

Pall-mall, paille-maille, palle-maille, pell-mell, or palle-malle (UK /pælˈmæl/, US /pɛlˈmɛl/, /pælˈmæl/ or /pɔːlˈmɔːl/) is a lawn game that was mostly played in the 16th and 17th centuries, a precursor to croquet.

Related to Italian trucco (also known as lawn billiards or trucks in English) and similar games, pall-mall is an early modern development from jeu de mail, a French form of ground billiards.
