La Casquette

The media pointing to the best of pétanque!

Players Side!

Witty remarks, anecdotes, challenges, competition, sharing, conviviality—the players (boules players) talk to you about their passion. Our team meets with them to capture their stories in words and pictures.

In the spot light! 

One day, one club, one player, one event, and our team writes an article about a noteworthy event. We also meet with those who organize competitions, whether international, national, regional, or local.

Clubs Side!

La Casquette is embarking on a France-wide tour of clubs and their managers. Organization, original ideas, club event management, etc.

 

We share with you!

La casquette, Why ? 

 

During a game of pétanque, a player is said to have made a “casquette” when they throw their ball and it lands on top of another ball without moving it. This is the name we have chosen to talk to you about “Pétanque.” Without changing anything, we will give you an overview of pétanque, its values of sharing and conviviality. We will also tell you about competitions, whether local, regional, national, or international, not to mention the excitement and social aspect of this sport played by hundreds of thousands of French men and women.
