A rather unexpected scene Tulle : Francois Hollande Racket in hand, exchanging a few balls to inaugurate Padel by Self, the city's very first indoor club. A brief sporting interlude that marked the official opening of the venue, conceived by Juan-Luis Villanueva et Didier Bentejac.

The club, located in the Mulatet area, offers three fields automatically accessible via an app. A simple formula, designed to facilitate the practice and attract a wide audience in a city where the padel offering was limited.

The former president didn't hesitate to join in the fun. Racket in hand, a smile on his face, Hollande hit a few balls. A charming image that has already generated some buzz: Hollande discovering the joys of padel… who knows, perhaps he'll continue to play it more regularly.

An anecdote about the opening of this new venue, which enriches Tulle's sporting offerings and contributes to the continued growth of paddle in France.

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
