A superb experience and very highly recommended. - This was such a fun activity! There was an initial mix-up about where we were to meet the guide, but this was sorted out very quickly by the tour office, and we were soon learning how to play petanque with our guide Leo and a couple of his friends (who were great company!) - they had come along to make up the numbers needed as there were just two of us doing this experience. Leo provided the wine (which flowed very generously) and some cold meats, and the time just flew by while we played and chatted. A real highlight of our trip and very highly recommended.

Fantastic, fun & authentic Parisian experience! - This was by far our favourite part of the trip! Walid our instructor was really lovely, he brought delicious snacks and wine for us, and helped us with our tactics. He even gave us a quick 20min walking tour of the local area too!
It felt really authentic, good fun and so unique. Recommend to couples, groups of friends, families - it really is for everyone.

Thoroughly good time - Our instructor, Patrick, was personable and knowledgeable, and he was a very good teacher. We had a thoroughly good time. It was well worth the price. Now my buddy and I feel comfortable going to the Luxembourgh Gardens or anywhere else and asking to join a pétanque game.

Great afternoon learning to play as well as having a glass or two of wine. We thoroughly enjoyed this experience and would recommend it as a wonderful way to spend the afternoon. Felt as though we were playing with a group of friends experiencing the French way of life.</p>

He wasn't expert and even though our group was small 6 people he did not have the correct amount of equipment to play the game with. He also got confused on some of the rules and a young girl who had played the game with her French class one of the guests kept us in line. It was nice, but not great. I would recommend that instead you take a couple of bottles of good wine, some cheese and bread to the Petanque pitch in Luxembourg gardens and bribe your way into a game there.</p>

We were, however, disappointed because we had expected to learn more about the rules and strategy of the game as outlined in the tour description. It was a very enjoyable experience in a lovely square on a perfect summer evening, but we didn't learn what we were hoping to from the experience.</p>
