Obut brings the vibe to the 2025 Tour de France Fan Parks in Lille and Montpellier

The Tour de France isn’t just about cycling. It’s also a true popular celebration where passion, sport, and togetherness come together. Once again this year, Obut is proud to be part of the official Fan Parks for the second year in a row, with stops in Lille and Montpellier. And what an atmosphere!

A 100% Obut pétanque experience

For several days, the Fan Parks turn into festive villages where young and old can discover the game of pétanque. For the occasion, we’re setting up two temporary pétanque courts in Lille and Montpellier — a space entirely dedicated to play, relaxation, and discovery.

All day long, our passionate Obut team, specially mobilized for the event, will be there to bring the game to life.

More than a game, a shared passion

More than a game, a shared passion

This kind of event reflects the very essence of our brand: pétanque is much more than a pastime — it’s a social bond, a living tradition, and a passion we love to share. Being in direct contact with the public, getting people to play, introducing them to the game, and engaging in conversation — that’s what drives our teams.

Lille and Montpellier: two stops, one shared passion

  • Lille: July 3 to July 5, 2025
    On the Grand'Place, in the festive spirit typical of the North, the Obut courts welcome hundreds of players in a warm, friendly atmosphere. Laughter, perfect shots, and a true curiosity for pétanque — a sport that continues to bring people together.
  • Montpellier: Monday, July 21 and Tuesday, July 22, 2025
    Heading South for a sunny stopover. Under Montpellier’s blue sky, the southern spirit shines on our courts. Between enthusiasts, curious passersby, and families, the day is alive with energy, driven by values of togetherness and authenticity.
