Bowled Away: French Pétanque Party at Nali Patio this Sunday
Nali Patio comes over all French this Sunday, June 28, as it plays host to a party honoring that most gallic of pastimes, pétanque.
Originating in Provence in the early twentieth century, pétanque is a form of boules (or bowls as we might know it in the west), where the aim is to throw hollow metal balls as close as possible to a wooden jack. Players must throw the boules while standing stationary with two feet on the ground or risk disqualification.
The party will be held from 2-9pm at Nali Patio in Sanlitun. The RMB 100 entry fee gets you two drinks and a host of French snacks.
