Petanque

petanque

Pétanque is a form of boules where the goal is to throw hollow metal balls as close as possible to a small wooden ball called a cochonnet (literally “piglet”) while standing inside a circle with both feet on the ground. Also referred to as Jeu de Boules, the game is normally played on hard dirt or gravel. We have a Petanque court next to the swimming pool, which is shaded by old Mulberry trees that hark back to the days when the manor was a silk farm.

Swimming

In the swimming pool in the garden: salt water and good temperatures from Easter until the end of October.

In the sea: about 1 hour from the East of Cotignac – Hyeres: Bregancon. The beaches continue indefinitely to St Tropez.
In Lakes: near the Verdon Gorge, north of Cotignac, the Lac de St Croix is a water paradise with emerald water that has a summer temperature of 25 degrees C. At most places around the lake, one can rent a kayak or paddle-board. Continue a few kilometres more to discover the charming village, Moustiers Sainte Marie.
In Cotignac there is a refreshing river, “La Cassole” and waterfall which is very popular with the locals.
Rafting can be at least as challenging in France as in Norway!
