What is Pétanque?

Pétanque is a relaxed outdoor game originating from France, similar to bowls or bocce. Players stand in a small circle and take turns throwing metal balls, known as boules, towards a small wooden target ball called the cochonnet (or “jack”).

The aim is simple — get your boules as close to the target as possible, or knock your opponent’s further away!

Suitable for all ages and abilities, Pétanque is easy to learn, highly social, and great fun for families, friends, and groups.

We look forward to welcoming you to the facility soon!
