Padel, a fast-growing racquet sport, is becoming increasingly popular with Parisians. Born in Latin America in the 1970s and popularized in Spain, padel is played in doubles on a smaller court than tennis, surrounded by glass and mesh, offering unprecedented rebounds reminiscent of squash. Padel combines the technicality of tennis with the playfulness of table tennis, creating a fast-paced, dynamic sport that's accessible to players of all abilities. In just a few years, padel has become the sports and social meeting place for Parisians in search of new leisure activities.
There's no shortage oftrendy venues and friendly clubs in the Paris region where you can learn or improve your padel game, which has become the sport of choice in large cities that are generally short of space. Across the capital or in neighboring départements, take to the indoor and outdoor courts of these sporting spots, whether just for fun or to try your luck in the region's competitions!
