Bonjour to the game of Pétanque!

This classic French pastime has found its way to the Forty Acre Club, where the pace is laid-back, the laughs are plentiful, and the attire is nonexistent. Pétanque (think bocce, but with a bit more flair) is a fantastic way to enjoy a little friendly competition while soaking up the sunshine in good company.

Why Pétanque is a Hit Here:

• Easy to Learn, Hard to Master: The rules are simple, but it takes some finesse to master that perfect throw—especially with no pockets to keep your “lucky” pebble!

• Relaxed Vibes: Pétanque is all about easygoing fun and friendly conversation, with plenty of time to enjoy the outdoors and connect with fellow members.

• Perfect for All Ages: It’s a leisurely game that anyone can enjoy, making it great for new players and seasoned pétanque pros alike.

• A Unique Twist: Playing in the nude means there’s nothing weighing down your winning shot!

Whether you’re aiming for a bullseye or just happy to toss a few rounds with friends, pétanque at the Forty Acre Club is all about good times, great people, and enjoying the simple pleasures of life—au naturel!
