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. 

In the spotlight !

Pétanque :

L'incontournable des vacances !

(Reportage de TF1)

Les boules sont conçues à partir de simples barres d'acier découpées en lopins, qui sont ensuite chauffés autour de 1 000 °C. Une fois formée, la boule doit être usinée, chauffée et refroidie, étape cruciale pour durcir la boule et la rendre résistante dans le temps.

Dites le avec des fleurs !

 

Lorsque la bêtise d'un seul écrase de tout son poids la légèreté avec laquelle les autres joueurs et joueuses sont venus s'amuser, la pétanque a tout simplement les boules et le boulodrôme devient un gouffre dans lequel tombe une à une les valeurs de convivialité, de partage et de bonne humeur.
