What is Pétanque?
Pétanque (P'tonk), the game of boules, began in Southern France and is now played by millions worldwide. The game is growing like wildfire in Victoria. It's less formal than bowls, more stylish than bocce and can be as social or competitive as you like. Quick and easy to learn; you don't need a lot of gear.
