The two of them gave us a great, very entertaining evening: Boule course, delicious and above all homemade drinks, snacks and good mood. We would book it again immediately.
Such a blast

We had a blast at this lesson. The leader is funny, helpful and encouraging in learning pétanque We all met at a park and were greeted and made to feel welcome and at ease regardless of our experience. The lesson was punctuated by sips of rose or pastis and snacks of their homemade tapenade and pate and mushrooms. One of highlights of our trip to Provence. Highly recommend!
Fun afternoon playing pétanque

We attended the Pétanque Lesson in Provence event by Les Pastras in August 2023. What a wonderful experience! Johann and his team provided us with a fun afternoon learning about the history of pétanque and tips for playing while enjoying Provençal snacks, wine and home made pastis. We would highly recommend this event!
You haven't experienced Provence until you've done this!

Petanque was amazing. You haven't experienced Provence until you've been taught Petanque experience with Johann and Jean-Marc. Not to mention Jean-Marc's wild boar paté, marinated mushrooms, tapenade, home-made, wine, and pastis. We'll be back.
Fun, Fun, Fun!

What an absolutely wonderful night! We 4 learned the rules of petanque, practiced a few rounds and then, with the expert guidance of Johann and Jean-Marc, played a match! The playing got better and better as we sipped wine, snacked on homemade pate, tapenade and marinated mushrooms and finished with a healthy serving of pastis—everything local fromJean-Marc’s farm. Can’t say enough about our friendly easy-going hosts. The experience was wonderfully authentic and just perfect for a summer evening. Don’t miss this!
Fun day!

Our group consisted of Johann (the host), Jean-Marc (a very skilled local player) and his delightful children (prodigies in the making). There was plenty of free parking near the site, and we were very warmly welcomed. Johann was an informative and entertaining host/translator, Jean-Marc showed us some impressive skills, and the children were impeccably behaved. The group are clearly very close-knit, and we felt very included. We picked up the game really quickly, and even managed a rare victory over Jean-Marc! During breaks, everyone snacked from a picnic hamper of food and drink including bread, home-made tapenades / pastis, mint syrup, water Although we were initially a little sceptical about the price when we were booking, the food, drink and fun experience made it well worth the money.
Authentic French Experience is fun, fun, fun!

I lead trips to Provence. My clients love this outing. It brings out the competitor in all of us. Jumping, yelling, laughing, and getting in touch with the earth, the people, and what really defines France. Great Experience. Don't even doubt it! Just do it.
This was just fabulous

It does not matter if you have never heard of pétanque. Athletic ability is (largely) irrelevant, This is Provence at its warm and easy-going best. The two gentlemen ( I should have said “the two guys”) who introduce you to Pétanque are the best of fun-loving friends,and they welcome you into their friendship with a Provençal joie-de-vivre that is contagious and happily inclusive. But they also know their game, and will amaze you with skill, and an abundance of funny stories. Be prepared for three hours of laughter, gentle instruction, and some of the world’s best homemade wild boar pate, green olive tapenade, pickled mushrooms, and house-made wine. It will be a treasured memory.
