Les Pétanqueurs de la Saône

Ah, bienvenue chez Les Pétanqueurs de la Saône, where the art of pétanque meets the languid flow of the Saône River, and time itself seems to roll as lazily as those heavy metal boules. Founded on a whim one warm summer evening, this group marries Lyon’s age-old love for leisurely sporting activities with its storied history of riverside gatherings. Gather 'round as Monsieur Baptiste recounts legends of pétanque matches more epic than Homer's Iliad, but with more wine and fewer gods. Whether you're a seasoned toss-master or a novice armed with beginner's luck, you'll find camaraderie—and maybe even a splash of Pastis—awaiting you on the banks of La Belle Saône. Just don't mention Paris, or someone might challenge you to a duel, pétanque style.
