Pétanque

Come and have fun playing pétanque with us. We also hold social events, often with a French flavour

Petanque is the French name for “boules” and is played with steel balls

Pétanque has been played at Avalon Bowlo for over 10 years. We play on Wednesday and Saturday

mornings starting at 10:00 am.

The name comes from “pieds tanqué”, which in the dialect of Languedoc in South West France

means Feet Fixed. The players stand in a small circle to throw their ball.

We play the game in groups of four players. The idea is similar to lawn bowls. Get as many balls as

close to the jack as possible. Except in petanque the jack is called a “cochonet”.

Beginners and new players are welcome. Call Jennie or just turn up at 10am Wednesdays or

Saturdays

We have spare boules if you need them and are happy to introduce you to the game
