Pétanque, rugby, and friendliness at the heart of the Pink City
If you thought pétanque was just for summer vacations, think again! This friendly and accessible sport is making a fantastic comeback in the city centers, and Toulouse is becoming its unmissable capital! The Pétanque Days are the perfect opportunity to gather around the cochonnet in a warm setting, where amateur athletes and curious onlookers can play together without any special requirements.
With nearly 870 players in 2024, the event aims to grow even more by bringing together 8,000 people for this second edition. Antoine Dupont and Cyril Baille, the famous rugby stars from Stade Toulousain, are expected to share authentic and friendly moments with the crowd, confirming the sporty and popular spirit of the tournament.
