Du 6 at 15 March 2026, France will vibrate to the rhythm of Deer Padel Tour, a national solidarity tour led by Antoine, who suffers from the Berger's disease (IgA nephropathy), a chronic kidney disease that is still too little known.

A personal project that has become a collective one, with a clear ambition: raising awareness of kidney disease and raising funds for research and patient support.

A Tour de France shaped like a kidney

The concept is powerful: one stage per day, in different French cities, with a symbolic GPS track drawing the shape of a kidney on the map of the territory.

Confirmed dates and cities:

  • March 6 – Nancy (Vidapadel)
  • March 7 – Reims (Padelshot)
  • March 8 – Lille (4Padel)
  • March 9 – Angers (Playground Angers)
  • March 10 – Bordeaux (4Padel)
  • March 11 – Montpellier (Tennis Padel Castries Club)
  • March 12 – Rest
  • March 13 – Aix-en-Provence (WinWin Padel)
  • March 14 – Lyon (Padelshot Saint-Genis-Laval)
  • March 15 – Paris (4Padel Boulogne-Billancourt)

Each step will take the form of a Amateur tournament (Men/Women/Mixed), accessible and friendly, with a strong health dimension: information stands, presence of associations, health professionals, activities and awareness.

A transparent and supportive model

Operation is simple:

  • Registered at € 40including €10 donated to the Rein association Padel Tour
  • The funds raised will be redistributed to research and support projects, with secure management via Payasso Crédit Mutuelguaranteeing transparency and traceability.

Beyond registration, additional actions will be put in place: raffles, mini solidarity games, donation stands, local partnerships.

An exceptional finale in Paris

The highlight of the tour will take place on Sunday, March 15th at 4Padel Boulogne-Billancourt, with an exceptional “Galacticos” meeting bringing together personalities and elite players.

Goal : maximize national visibility and achieve a major final fundraising round.

And good news: Padel Magazine will be present in Paris on Sunday, March 15th to cover the latest event and to highlight this initiative which is both sporting and profoundly human.

A project that goes beyond sport

The Kidney Padel Tour is part of the Kidney Week 2026 and perfectly embodies what padel can offer at its best: connection, sharing and concrete commitment.

The message is clear: to transform an invisible disease into a visible, unifying and useful project.

March 2026 is shaping up to be a big moment for French padel and for solidarity.
