Come play with us!

La Boule du Désert Pétanque was founded in 2003 by Pascal Corchia, and a small group of people who, for the sheer love of the game, strove to create the courts in Palm Desert to better share the sport and to expose others to a popular French tradition. Their enthusiasm for a good time, and the participation of many terrific players over the years brought us to what we have today. Whether you are a seasoned player or are interested in learning the game, please join us and experience the challenging and fun adventure that is pétanque. We play every Sunday beginning around 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m., also on Wednesdays, and sometimes into the evening depending on the season and participant interest.
