19/07, we celebrate the petanque!
The International Day of Pétanque aims to celebrate this mythical game that is practiced all over the world, especially for its positive values that should be universal: CONVIVIALITY - PRECISION - RESPECT.
These 3 pillars make pétanque a fun, playful, inclusive and competitive game.
A perfect mix.
On this day, we invite the whole world to play petanque to share a moment of joy with his family, friends, colleagues or even strangers, just for fun!
Inspired by the blue sky of Provence, the warmth of the sun and the simple joy of the game, the sun-ball boules embodies the origin and values of this sport.
This iconic visual celebrates a universal game that brings together, makes smile and creates memories.
Organize or enjoy many animations to discover or rediscover this emblematic game from a friendly and playful angle. Throughout the day, friendly tournaments, precision challenges and initiations will allow everyone to have fun and share a good time. Each activity must be designed to promote conviviality and fun, in a festive atmosphere accessible to all.
This movement is therefore dedicated to Sunday players, vacationers, enthusiasts, freestylers and even those who do not yet know the rules.

It is freely usable on all media: posters, publications, goodies, stickers...
