Petanque: The Greatest Game You've Never Heard Of   

Pétanque (pronounced pay tonk) is an international sport from France. Related to Italian bocce ball, the game involes opposing teams rolling or throwing metal balls at a smaller wooden target-ball. Pétanque has an ancient, fascinating history, provides many mental and physical benefits, and is quick and easy to learn. It is gentle on the body--requiring finesse, cooperative team strategizing, and brains not brawn. It is a game of concentration, coordination, camaraderie, and FUN. Come learn to play this quintessential part of French and world culture. A video to learn more about Pétanque: https://youtu.be/YXUkofUi-ps
