Le Panier District Guided Walk with a Local and Play Petanque
Join us for a truly local experience: petanque! This ancestral form of bocce ball has grown into a beloved Provencal sport.

We'll begin with a visit to the House of the Ball, located in the heart of Le Panier, to set the mood. After learning about the origins of the game and admiring the neighborhood's street art, we'll head just a short distance away to start our friendly match, with the Notre Dame Basilica as a backdrop. Next to the famous Cathedral de la Major, we'll enjoy trying our hand at the art of petanque together
After an hour of lively play, we'll reward ourselves with a well-deserved local aperitif! Good humor and conviviality will be at the heart of the experience.
