Vilac Petanque

Pétanque has a wonderfully calm, civilised look to it right up until someone misses by a whisker and suddenly becomes absolutely certain they would have won if only that one stone had not been in the way. This beautiful wooden set lets children join in a timeless family game that appeals to everyone, and with its cotton bag it is easy to take to the garden, the beach or a picnic for a lovely afternoon together.

We love it because:

• It's a proper grown-up game made child-friendly
• Encourages outdoor play without anyone feeling like they're "doing exercise"
• Simple enough for younger children to learn quickly
• Beautifully made from solid varnished and painted wood
• Comes in a cotton bag that's easy to throw in the car for holidays and days out
• Made in France using traditional craftsmanship

One of those wonderfully simple games that starts with "shall we have a quick round?" and somehow ends an hour later with everyone still insisting on just one more throw. We know how that goes.
