This Saturday, September 26, 2026, the town of Roquettes inaugurated the Community Pavilion, renamed in honor of Alain Pinaud, former president of the local pétanque club.

A ceremony filled with emotion and conviviality was held in the presence of the Mayor and elected officials. The plaque bearing the name of Alain Pinaud, a community figure who passed away a few months ago, was unveiled.
Passionate about pétanque, Alain Pinaud was deeply involved in the club's life. As a player and competitor, he served as a volunteer, assistant treasurer, then treasurer before becoming its president.
Naming this pavilion after Alain Pinaud aims to permanently honor his memory in a place he loved and dedicated much of his time to. This plaque will now serve as a reminder of his journey, his commitment, and the significant role he played within the Roquettoise pétanque.
