In the heart of Saint-Tropez, the Place des Lices comes alive with the sound of pétanque balls clinking together—a true Provençal tradition. Under the shade of century-old plane trees, locals and visitors compete in a friendly yet strategic game. As the sun sets, the golden light enhances the charm of this historic square, blending elegance with authenticity.
Pétanque is played in teams of one to three players. The goal? To throw your boules as close as possible to the small wooden target ball, the cochonnet, while trying to knock away your opponents’ boules. The first team to reach 13 points wins, making each round a mix of skill, tactics, and sportsmanship.
Once a gathering place for fishermen and artists, the Place des Lices is now a legendary spot where celebrities and locals mingle over a game. Whether you're playing, watching, or simply enjoying the vibrant atmosphere, experiencing pétanque here is an invitation to embrace the true spirit of Saint-Tropez.
