Top Games Spots in Canton of Vaud

I suggest checking the schedule for tournaments before you go. I went and ended up missing a local game, which would have been super fun to watch. It's a great way to see the game played at a higher level.

Think about going in the late afternoon around 5 PM. We found that the crowds were way thinner then, so we could enjoy the place and even have a few rounds on the court!

I suggest playing during the weekday afternoons if you can. It gets pretty busy on weekends, so you'll have more space and fun without the rush. Plus, it’s easier to find a quiet spot to practice your game.

My advice is to bring your own drinks and snacks. The onsite café can get pricey, and there's no harm in saving some francs for more petanque fun! I regretted not doing this.

I think you should want to wear comfy shoes, cause the terrain can be a bit uneven. I wore flip-flops and ended up regretting it halfway through – not the best choice for playing a sport.

I suggest hitting the courts around 4 PM when it’s less crowded. I went midday and couldn’t find a spot to play. The evenings are nice too with a chill vibe.

if you’re hungry, check out nearby local food stalls. i found a great little place just a block away with yummy snacks on the cheap. way better than the overpriced options right there!
