Petanque on Sunday afternoon




Enjoy a family-friendly afternoon of petanque at Rossiter Park in Aitkenvale.

"After the development of the all-metal boule, pétanque spread rapidly from Provence to the rest of France, then to the rest of Europe, and then to Francophone colonies and countries around the globe. Today there are National Federations throughout the world and Pétanque is actively played in most countries in the world.The International governing body of pétanque is the Fédération Internationale de Pétanque et Jeu Provençal (FIPJP).
It was founded in 1958 in Marseille and now has 112 national federations in 112 countries.  
Petanque is universal, present on the five continents and in the largest countries (Argentina, Australia, China, USA, India, Japan, Russia), but is also in very small states (Brunei, Djibouti, Haiti, Monaco, Seychelles, Vanuatu).   It is present both in islands (Malta, Mauritius, Comoros) and the foothills of the Himalayas (Bhutan, Nepal).  It is played in the warmer countries (Qatar, Polynesia) and in the colder regions (Canada, Mongolia).
