WHAT IS PÉTANQUE???
Pétanque (sometimes called Boules) is a target sport, where participants throw metal balls and get them as close as possible to a small wooden target ball (called a cochonnet or jack), while standing inside a circle with both feet on the ground. The game is normally played on hard dirt or gravel. It can be played in public areas in parks, or in dedicated facilities called boulodromes. This classic French game is great if you’re looking for a fun pastime to do with your friends and family.
Pétanque (pay-tonk’) is an international sport from France that involves opposing teams, of 1, 2, or 3 people, rolling or throwing metal balls at a smaller wooden target ball. Pétanque is related to Italian Bocce Ball and English Lawn Bowling.
Pétanque is a quick and easy sport to learn. It is an enjoyable, social, competitive team game that utilizes and develops concentration, strategizing, mindfulness, focus, and body-mind coordination. Pétanque’s health benefits include stress relief, improved flexibility, light cardio, and the positive mental and social rewards of this outdoor activity
