A big thank you to the Municipality of Courlon sur Yonne for welcoming us and helping to make this event a success, and especially to Christina Rangdet and her deputies, who were present from the start of the event right through to the prize-giving ceremony.
And let's not forget, of course, all the volunteers from the CIEP and the 89 FFPJP Committee who worked hard to ensure that all the participants had a great time during this day of pétanque like no other.
The 2025 edition is already scheduled, so get your calendars ready for Saturday 4 October in Courlon sur Yonne.
Training course at the CIEP

The CIEP continues its development on an international level and ensures the spirit of exchange that petanque provides between enthusiasts.
Luxembourg, the USA and the French were present, an alchemy that energized these four days of training.
THE N°56 of PLANÈTE BOULES has just been published
Two major events will mark this off-season of pétanquiste, both scheduled for December. On the sporting field first of all, with the Men's Triples and Precision Shooting World Championships which will be held in Dijon, from 5 to 8 December. Then in the ballot box, 15 days later (20-21 December), just before Christmas, with the FFPJP Congress to be held in Belfort (90), with the election of the new federal team and the appointment of the President for the next four years.
The Men's Triples World Championships - the queen event of the discipline on the international scene - are back on French soil: 30 years after Clermont-Ferrand, still in everyone's memories, Montpellier in 1997, then the Grenoble triptych (2002 - 2004 - 2006) and finally Marseille in 2012. They will take up residence this year in the majestic setting of the Zénith de Dijon, a large performance hall where many world-famous artists have performed, converted for the occasion into a petanque arena.
David Le Dantec, head of the France Senior Men's Collective, unveiled on September 12, a French selection that is actually unsurprising, with three executives, Philippe Suchaud, Henri Lacroix and Dylan Rocher. The only uncertainty lay in the choice of the "4th man", it is Jean Feltain, author of a great 2024 season, who was selected, to the detriment of Robineau, Sarrio or Bonetto.
France will set out to regain the rainbow title, which eluded them two years ago in Benin, which saw Thailand's 2nd title in this event. In the Precision Shooting, Dylan Rocher will be the favourite to retain his title.

Handi-Petanque: An Inclusive and Exciting Game
Handi-petanque is an adapted version of the famous game of petanque, specially designed to be accessible to people with disabilities. This inclusive sport allows everyone, regardless of their mobility level, to participate and enjoy the game of boules. It aims to promote inclusion, equality, and the joy of playing together by adapting the rules and equipment to meet the specific needs of players.
To make it accessible to everyone, several adaptations can be implemented, starting with modified playing fields that can be made more accessible, with flat surfaces and access points facilitating wheelchair mobility. Adapted equipment, such as lighter boules or gripping devices, may also be provided to help players throw the boules easily. The rules can also be adjusted to accommodate the players' abilities, such as the throwing distance or the number of boules per player.
Of course, handi-petanque offers many benefits to participants: social inclusion, improved mobility, mental well-being, and skill development. It is a practice dear to the Comité Départemental de l’Yonne (FFPJP) that organizes the event.
