We bring 2 sets of Petanque balls to SXM with us each trip. (And our luggage gets tossed by TSA every time <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />) My husband loves to play on the beach and grounds around ClubO.


It is a GREAT beach game. On the last SXM trip we did, my French friend who introduced me to Petanque joined us on Baie Rouge. I brought my Boules balls and cleared customs on the way down, but the balls were taken away at the airport in SXM on the way back. You would think that customs on the island would know what Petanque is, but we had fun playing at Baie Rouge. The owner of Petanque USA is a friend of mine, and I ordered another set from him.

Whenever we go to the beach in the US, I always take my Petanque set with us, and all of our family now know this game now.


We actually built a pétanque court at home - to the exact specifications <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> Since I lost my husband, it hasn't been used (sadly), so you're invited to come play <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/circle.gif" alt="" />
