France Bleu Provence is a partner of the Mondial La Marseillaise à Pétanque which celebrates its 60th anniversary this year.
Welcome to this 2022 edition at Parc Borely in Marseille
A unique and unmissable event
In 2022, The Mondial La Marseillaise à Pétanque celebrates its 60th anniversary. An anniversary edition that will be celebrated with great fanfare. This 61st edition will take place from Sunday July 3 to Wednesday July 6, 2022.
The competition, mixed, open to all, licensed or not, without age limit, is played in threes (male, female or mixed) at Parc Borély and in around thirty play areas throughout Marseille. Each game is played in 13 points on the principle of direct elimination.
The draw is complete. La Marseillaise thus offers a unique opportunity to thousands of anonymous, amateur or Sunday players, to measure themselves against the champions of the discipline covered with national and international titles. Just like the draw, the playgrounds are also randomly drawn. Here, no seed, anonymous or champion, everyone is considered on an equal footing.
Figures but above all values
The Mondial is the most important sporting event in the South-East and the biggest pétanque event in the world.. More than 14,000 players, 160,000 spectators from 20 countries and 95 departments are expected from July 3 to 6 in Marseille (and from July 1 to 3 for the women’s and children’s competitions). It’s the meeting of the conviviality, fraternity and living well togetheraround the values of respect and sharing conveyed by pétanque, invented by and for a disabled person.
These values are dear to France Bleu Provence and the Marseillaise.
