Origin and history

The Musée International Pétanque et Boules is located in Saint-Bonnet-le-Château, a commune in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. This place is entirely dedicated to preserving and valuing the history of ball games, a popular tradition rooted in many French regions. Ball games, whose petanque is one of the best known variants, occupy an important place in local and national culture.

These playful and sporting practices, often associated with conviviality and community gatherings, reflect an intangible heritage still alive. The museum allows to trace their evolution through thematic collections and exhibitions.
