Boule-Unterricht in der Provence

We had a blast at this lesson. The leader is funny, helpful and encouraging in learning pétanque We all met at a park and were greeted and made to feel welcome and at ease regardless of our experience. The lesson was punctuated by sips of rose or pastis and snacks of their homemade tapenade and pate and mushrooms. One of highlights of our trip to Provence. Highly recommend!

We attended the Pétanque Lesson in Provence event by Les Pastras in August 2023. What a wonderful experience! Johann and his team provided us with a fun afternoon learning about the history of pétanque and tips for playing while enjoying Provençal snacks, wine and home made pastis. We would highly recommend this event!

Petanque was amazing. You haven't experienced Provence until you've been taught Petanque experience with Johann and Jean-Marc. Not to mention Jean-Marc's wild boar paté, marinated mushrooms, tapenade, home-made, wine, and pastis. We'll be back.

Absolute fun! Wonderful refreshment and local gourmet snacks and beverages. Kind and entertains hosts and a hint of competitive strategy. Perfect!

What an absolutely wonderful night! We 4 learned the rules of petanque, practiced a few rounds and then, with the expert guidance of Johann and Jean-Marc, played a match! The playing got better and better as we sipped wine, snacked on homemade pate, tapenade and marinated mushrooms and finished with a healthy serving of pastis—everything local fromJean-Marc’s farm. Can’t say enough about our friendly easy-going hosts. The experience was wonderfully authentic and just perfect for a summer evening. Don’t miss this!
