A love letter to boule pétanque

Boulebar is the dream of that perfect evening in a park, somewhere in France. It's the dream of eternal summer, cold drinks and boule under the platanes. Of friendly rivalry and laughter. Of togetherness and a glass of Pastis.

Our journey

It all started in 1991 with a pétanque club called Grönbrallan — a group of friends who fell hard for the game and wanted to share the passion. We didn’t just play; we threw parties, gathered friends, and created memories that stretched far beyond the courts.

A pilgrimage to the village of Rians in Provence deepened our connection to the sport and culture. Back in Stockholm, we realised we needed a home — a place where pétanque and French flair could thrive, even in the chill of the Swedish winter. That’s how Boulebar was born —our very own “indoor French park".

Today, Boulebar spans 13 venues across 6 cities and 3 countries. But no matter how far we’ve grown, our roots stay the same. Our DNA is infused with the spirit of France, from our courts to our cuisine. We’re proud to be a little rebellious, always flirting with French culture, humor, and tradition in a way only Boulebar can.
