Petanque is one of the oldest games in Europe, originating in the Provence region in southern France. The earliest mentions of games involving throwing balls for accuracy date back to the Middle Ages. Since then, the core of the game and its rules have remained largely unchanged.
The simple rules and minimal physical exertion make pétanque accessible to people of all ages. The game does not require special preparation, and focusing on the precise throw of the ball helps to distract from everyday worries. Pétanque is not only considered a sport, but also a way to relieve psychological stress and relax.
