The Classic City Petanque Club is a group of regular players interested in bringing the game of petanque to a wider audience in Athens and Northeast Georgia.
Petanque in Athens was initiated by Les Boule Dawgs, a group of faculty and students at the University of Georgia. Though they played for several years, Les Boule Dawgs is defunct as of October 2016.
The Classic City Petanque Club plays behind Buvez, along the tracks behind 585 Barber Street Athens, GA (map)
The Classic City Petanque Club also plays at the pétanque terrain at 297 Hoyt Street at the Lay Park and Community Center near downtown Athens.
There is no cost at all to play, and we have some petanque balls for you to use. Some club members play throughout the week so a pick-up game is always possible. Beginners and all ages and skill levels are welcome!
If you are interested in playing petanque send a Facebook message to @boulesathens or email president@athenspetanque.org. We look forward to meeting you. A très bientôt sur les terrains.
In March 2018, Peter Gibson founded the Atlanta Petanque League with the goal of providing a support organization for petanque clubs in the greater Atlanta area.
