70 years by your side: thank you for every moment shared
From playing fields to memories, a story that has resonated since 1955
For 70 years, Obut has been there. On the playing fields, in the players’ hands, at the heart of games that stretch on, in the silences before the shot, in the bursts of laughter after a fine point. Since 1955, we have shared far more than a game, we have shared moments of life.
Today, on this very special anniversary, we simply want to say thank you.
Thank you for every game of pétanque played
- Thank you for those impromptu games of pétanque on a village square, in the shade of the plane trees.
- Thank you for those summer afternoons when time seemed to stand still around a little jack.
- Thank you for those hard-fought competitions, where focus, precision, and respect for the game truly matter.ns.
Every boule thrown tells a story. Every playing field becomes a place of memories, and all these stories, woven together, form the soul of Obut.
A passion passed down from generation to generation
Pétanque is a game of transmission. We learn how to point with a parent, a grandparent, a friend. We watch, we imitate, we improve. And one day, it’s our turn to pass it on.
For 70 years, Obut has accompanied these handovers. From hesitant first games to perfectly mastered gestures, we have seen vocations born, lasting passions grow, and unbreakable bonds form around the game.
By your side, on every walk of life
Obut has always sought to be the brand for all players, those who play for pleasure as well as for performance.
In gardens, clubs, official tournaments, or the world’s biggest international competitions.
Being by your side means respecting every way of playing, without ever losing sight of what matters most: conviviality, sharing, and the emotion of the game.
70 years of competition, by your side
For 70 years, Obut has been present where concentration is at its highest. On competition grounds, when every throw counts, when silence falls, when eyes lock onto the point to be played. Since 1955, we have supported those who play to push themselves further: competitors, clubs, referees, and volunteers. Those who bring top-level pétanque to life, with rigor, respect, and passion.
Thank you for these moments of intensity
Thank you for those hard-fought games, those precise gestures, those moments when everything can change.
Thank you for carrying, match after match, the spirit of competition and the values of pétanque.
For 70 years, Obut has moved forward on the playing fields, by your side.
A craftsmanship shaped by your trust
In Saint-Bonnet-le-Château, in the Loire region, every pétanque boule is crafted with rigor, precision, and passion. But this metal only has value once it passes through your hands. You are the ones who bring it to life. You are the ones who throw it, mark it, wear it down, and cherish it.
For 70 years, your trust has been our greatest reward: it holds us to high standards, inspires us, and drives us to always do better.
Thank you to those who keep pétanque alive
- Thank you to all generations of players.
- To those who started yesterday.
- To those who have been playing forever.
- To those who pass on, again and again, the spirit of the game.
- You are far more than players.
- You are the guardians of a passion.
- The bearers of an emotion.
- The builders of this beautiful collective story.
Let’s continue together
These 70 years are not an end point. They are a promise—the promise to keep playing, sharing, and feeling the thrill.
Because pétanque is far more than a sport:
- A bond,
- An emotion,
- A story that continues to be written, by your side.
Thank you for these 70 years shared. And see you on the playing fields.
For 70 years, every playing field has been a place of encounters, every game a story, and every player a part of our adventure.
