Petanque

Come and join our friendly band of players, contact the group leader above if you wish to find out more.

Petanque is a sport where players or teams play their boules/balls towards a target ball.

The objective is to score points by having boules closer to the target than your opponent after all boules have been thrown. This is achieved by projecting boules closer to the target, called a cochonnet, or by hitting the opponent’s boules away from the target, while standing inside a circle with both feet on the ground.
