Overview

Play a leisurely game of French ‘boules’ (balls), known as Pétanque, just as the French do -- with a glass of wine in your hand! This popular game is played all over Europe but its roots are firmly set in France, where locals play it in just about every village. In Paris’ tranquil Dauphine Gardens, enjoy a 1.5-hour match and learn all the tactics and lingo to become a master at this much-loved ‘sport.’

What to expect

  1. Pont Neuf
    3m
    This is where we meet - in downtown Paris. Louvre, Notre Dame and the Latin Quarter are all in sight.
  2. Place Dauphine
    1h 30m
    Place Dauphine is a pedestrian-only plaza. It is lined with chestnut trees. Perfect for boules - and for our "apéritif" pre-dinner drinks.
  3. The Seine
    Pass by
    Our Boules Game takes place on Paris' central island. The picturesque bridges of the river Seine are all around us.
  4. Conciergerie
    Pass by
    The plaza where we play boules looks on the conciergerie - formerly the palace of the French kings, and also the place where Marie-Antoinette was jailed.
