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.’

This was such a fun activity! There was an initial mix-up about where we were to meet the guide, but this was sorted out very quickly by the tour office, and we were soon learning how to play petanque with our guide Leo and a couple of his friends (who were great company!) - they had come along to make up the numbers needed as there were just two of us doing this experience. Leo provided the wine (which flowed very generously) and some cold meats, and the time just flew by while we played and chatted. A real highlight of our trip and very highly recommended.

This was by far our favourite part of the trip! Walid our instructor was really lovely, he brought delicious snacks and wine for us, and helped us with our tactics. He even gave us a quick 20min walking tour of the local area too! It felt really authentic, good fun and so unique. Recommend to couples, groups of friends, families - it really is for everyone.
