Welcome to the Legation Boules Club
A relaxed French game built around friendship, community, and outdoor social play in Austin, Texas.
The Legation Boules Club has been gathering to play pétanque in Austin since 2014. We play outdoors several times a week at the French Legation, the Browning Hangar at Mueller, and Nelson Ranch Park in Cedar Park.
Games are casual and open. Experienced players are always glad to show beginners how to get started, and someone will always have an extra set of boules to lend.
Membership is $20 a year. Showing up costs nothing.
