Pétanque
Pétanque (from the Provencal word pè meaning foot and tanca meaning anchored - ‘feet together’) is a gentle sociable game requiring accuracy, skill and concentration. Château de Valmer’s new pitch is near the vineyard under the palm trees, an ideal place to enjoy a session of this very southern sport. Players need to get their boule balls as near to the little white wooden one as possible. It’s usually accompanied by a glass of anisette, much laughter and general good humour.
