The best pétanque courts in Paris

Les Meilleurs Terrains De Petanque

It looks like the South… No need to wait for the holidays to catch the piano piano rhythm of the Marseillais. As you will have understood, petanque promises to be the trendiest sporting discipline of the summer. The new Parisian snobbery, in short. So, do you shoot or point? Discover our top elegant places to play bowls with panache.

 

The chicest

Parisiennes in high heels love to squat in the chic bowling alley of Place Dauphine , which remains a confidential and pedestrian rendezvous in the middle of the Pont Neuf . Instructions: install your equipment, a bottle of rosé, a bit of sausage and your best friends on a bench.

Place Dauphine, Paris 1st.

 

The most chill

Located on a real island the size of a football field, the brand new Rosa Bonheur in the heart of the Bois de Vincennes allows you to play petanque under the trees and by the water in a (single) well-defined rectangle . First come, first served ! From the Ricard parasol, you tease your opponents with a little yolk in your hand, accompanied by a plate of barbecued skewers (€16).

Porte Jaue, avenue de Nogent, Paris12th. Open from wednesday to thursday from 5pm to midnight, friday from 5pm to 2am, saturday from 12am to 2 am and sunday from 12 am to 10 pm.  

 

The most aristo

The young Louis XIV learned to ride there, Virgil Abloh made it the scene of his very first fashion show for Louis Vuitton. Among the sumptuous rosebushes, statues and ponds of the Palais-Royal garden , it is possible to indulge in a few games of petanque. It smells like vacation...

The most “group of friends”

At the edge of the Bassin de la Villette, the Bar Ourcq lends balls and deckchairs free of charge to test the piglet at ease. The icing on the cake, DJ sets regularly punctuate the evenings. All that remains is to order a very cold lager (€6,20) and nibbles to slump at sunset.

68 quai de la Loire, Paris 19th. Open everyday from 9am to 2 am. 01 42 40 12 26.

 

The most picturesque

In Montmartre, enhanced by a fountain and romantic benches, the charming Suzanne-Buisson square hides a dream land, sheltered from tourists. And as such a nugget is deserved, it is a question of being the first on the spot. A word of advice: arrive early!

7 bis rue Girardon, Paris 18th
