Valtop

Valtop is a pétanque equipment brand founded by Valentin Cremades and based in Mezzavia, Corsica. It built its early reputation on the "Sacoche chauffante VALTOP" heated boules bag before entering the competition-boules market in September 2025 with the i-STAR, a semi-soft ("demi-tendre") carbon steel boule that earned FIPJP homologation, followed by the full-carbon C-STAR. Team VALTOP's roster includes 2004 World Champion Damien Hureau, who serves as the team's sports ambassador and coordinator, alongside longtime partner Julien Lamour.
