What is Pétanque?

What is Pétanque?

Petanque is a sport which falls into the category of boule sports. Petanque is a great game and can be played by all on many levels. It is a non discriminating sport and can be played in your garden, socially, local leagues, nationally and internationally. It is one of the few games that men and women of all ages and abilities play against each other.
