(15 minutes walking distance from the club).
At a time when Paris is most popular, the tournament in September has had great success over many years now and we are always so thankful to all the professionals who support this tournament and that is why we have been luck enough to have one of the strongest grand slam draws for the last few years.
We would like that more people make the most of this great opportunity at a time where in France a large number of people are doing a lot of hard work in order to maintain and start to really progress with the development of Jeu de Paume in France. We have a number of exciting projects and for a country with only two courts we are really pleased with the overall high playing standard.
For more enquiries please contact tournament organisers Tim Batten (batten.tim@gmail.com), Emmanuel Chelli (emmanuel.chelli@coebank.org) or Matthieu Sarlangue (matthieusarlangue@hotmail.fr). And please have no fear; you will be met by perfect English speakers in any of these three.
