Petanque Social play. Beginners welcome. Free and no cost to play. Ages 8 to 80+. Everyone gets to play. Petanque is a strategy and skill game similar to Bocce. The game goes by the name Boules in France. There is equipment (boules) you can use and we love to teach new folks the game. Play starts at 1 pm on Sundays at Miller Park in Winston-Salem. Usually we play until after 4 pm and sometimes much later. Many Sundays we go out to eat afterwards. If you are new to petanque, then come at 12:30 pm and get a short lesson before regular play starts. We would love to meet you. New friends are always welcome. Please call if you have a larger group to assure we have enough equipment and folks to teach.

Overview of game... In pétanque the objective is to score points by having boules closer to the target than the opponent after all boules have been thrown. This is achieved by throwing or rolling boules closer to the small target ball, officially called a jack but known colloquially as a cochonnet, or by hitting the opponents' boules away from the target, while standing inside a circle with both feet on the ground. The team closest to the target ball gets a point for each ball (boule) they have closer than the opposing team.
