Your questions

Everything you need to know before you give

How does the recipient get their gift?

As soon as you’ve written your message, you receive the gift by email. You can forward it to them, send them the link by text, or print the attached card and hand it to them. Nothing is sent to them without you.

How long is the gift valid for?

One year from the date of purchase. Once activated, access to the programme is unlimited. A month before it expires, we’ll let you know if the gift hasn’t been opened yet.

Does the recipient have to pay anything?

No. They click “Open my gift”, create their student account with their email address and a password, and the programme is unlocked straight away.

Can I change my message afterwards?

Yes, as long as the gift hasn’t been opened, using the link in the email you receive. You’ll then receive the updated gift.

What if the recipient already has an account on the site?

They log in when they activate their gift, with their usual email address and password. If they’re already following the programme, the code stays valid and can be given to someone else.

What if the recipient isn’t very confident online?

The printed card has a QR code to scan with a phone, and a code to enter at petanqueacademy.fr/en/gift. They can then follow the programme on a phone, tablet or computer. If there’s any problem at all, just write to us: we’ll help them get started.

Can I give the programme in French?

Yes, from the French version of this page: the card and the gift are then personalised in French. The videos are the same in both versions.

Treat the petanque lover in your life

An original gift, useful all year round and ready to give in two minutes.
