A unique padel court at the foot of the Eiffel Tower #
Be ready to experience something extraordinary: playing padel on a temporary court set directly on a quay, facing the Eiffel Tower, promises an unforgettable match in a truly magical setting. On the left, the Iron Lady; on the right, the Seine and its majestic barges; and in the center, your playground, flanked by glazing that returns balls for dynamic and surprising exchanges. Whether you are a spectator or a player, every game offers breathtaking views, turning padel into a true Parisian attraction.
A sport accessible to everyone, from novice to expert #
Padel, this racket sport that originated in Mexico, attracts new enthusiasts every year. Less technical and much more playful than tennis, it is played in doubles on a smaller court, encouraging game strategies and unique bounces thanks to its glass walls and fences. You don’t have to be an ace at racket sports to have fun: beginners and experienced players can compete easily, and mixed teams are welcome. It’s the ideal activity for a friendly moment with friends or even family!
The rapid rise of padel in France #
It’s a true tidal wave: there were fewer than 20 padel courts in France in 2014, and today there are nearly 3000! This sport, beloved in Spain, gains more ground in France each year. The enthusiasm in Paris is such that personalities like Tony Parker or the Kretz brothers couldn’t resist the urge to step onto the court and take up the challenge during the inauguration. For even more activities to discover this summer, take a look at this selection of must-see adventures.
The Paris padel court, a professional installation
Designed in partnership with big names in the industry like Babolat and the Vedettes de Paris, this court is World Padel Tour certified, ensuring premium equipment for a professional-level playing experience. But no pressure: here, the priority remains the enjoyment and festive spirit. The court is open for reservation from 9 am to 11:30 pm until July 9, and accessible at a rate of 30 euros per player (for 1.5 hours of doubles play). It is recommended to bring your own equipment, but rackets are also available for rent on-site. For optimal comfort, please wear suitable shoes, either tennis or padel.
