We welcome all ages interested in learning and playing this fun game! No equipment needed. No experience needed. We will gladly teach anyone who wants to try. Come join us!
What is Petanque? Everyone has 3 metal balls (boules in French) that each weigh about a pound and a half. You toss the first boule out with the intention of getting close to a small target called a cochonnet. The intention is to get closer than the other team. It’s an easy game to get a feel for. We enjoy camaraderie, and fun. Come and see for yourself!
This short film celebrates the joy, community, and spirit of pétanque – and we hope it inspires you to discover the game we all love.
