A history, a state of mind
70 years ago, in Saint-Bonnet-le-Château, an adventure began.
- Frédéric Bayet, a lock manufacturer, and Antoine Dupuy, a talented mechanic, combined their expertise.
- Inspired by the post-war boom in pétanque, they set themselves an ambitious challenge.
- Their innovation: hollow steel balls that are precise and durable.
- A revolution that will go down in the history of pétanque.
Industrial know-how
- Rigorous selection of steels for optimum quality.
- Control of every stage of production, down to the smallest detail.

An evolving discipline
Pétanque is now open to a wider public, appealing to all generations and taking on new stages, from international competitions to urban events.
An eco-friendly vision
Manufacturing in France is not just a choice, it's a matter of conviction.
Right from the design stage, everything is done to minimise the ecological impact. We favour sustainable materials, optimise our manufacturing processes and reduce our environmental footprint at every stage of the process.
Our commitment goes beyond the quality of our products. We are working to make pétanque more respectful to the planet, by integrating eco-responsible practices, encouraging recycling and supporting local players. Because the future of gaming also depends on a more sustainable approach, we innovate without compromise to combine performance, respect for the environment and the pleasure of playing.
Products
We're constantly innovating to push back the boundaries of performance, designing ever-higher-performance pétanque balls adapted to different styles of play.
All our pétanque balls and most of our accessories are made in France, guaranteeing authentic know-how and impeccable quality.
Firmly rooted in its region and true to its values, our company has never stopped evolving to offer exceptional products while adopting an increasingly responsible approach.
