Get petanque stuff online...
On this website you will find an incredible selection of boules and other paraphernalia – everything to fulfil your needs, or pander to your fancy! They have secure online ordering too.
Or you could take a trip to France, track down the shop and get your own on the spot.
Making a trip to France to go to the shop may not be on the cards for you, but if you are going for a little holiday to France, or you know someone who is and is willing to take delivery for you, you can order what you want, ask for it to be delivered to that address, and your friends can bring the package back for you. Of course, you can order and get it delivered to you in the UK, which will be more expensive because it includes delivery, but delivery is reasonable. Do your own cost comparisons – you are sure to be pleasantly surprised.
Don't buy 'leisure' or 'recreational' boules. The are generally heavy, cannot be chosen to size, often come in pairs and they are not suitable for competition. Competition boules comes in 3s, and in accordance with the official FIPJP rules, show the manufacturers name, the weight and a unique number, and of course, you can choose your size too. Check with Coach before you buy.
PetanqueShop is extremely helpful and you can deal in English too!
