Padel in France is run by the Fédération Française de Tennis, which received ministerial delegation for the sport in 2014. Growth since then has been fast. The FFT counted 850,000 padel players in November 2025, 272,000 of them licensed, 130% more than in 2022. France now has about 4,000 courts at 1,027 clubs (FFT).
Competition has grown even faster. FFT-sanctioned padel tournaments rose from 274 in 2018 to 33,310 in 2025. The national ranking is based on each player's 12 best results over the previous 12 months and is published on the FFT's Ten'Up platform on the first Tuesday of every month. Ten'Up is also where you take out a licence and book courts at many FFT-affiliated clubs.
At the top level, the 2026 Premier Padel calendar included a P2 in Bordeaux and the Paris Major in September.
Our Paris listings include dedicated indoor centres, a club inside the Aquaboulevard complex and a multi-sport venue with padel, plus Casa Padel in Saint-Denis, just north of the city. We also list clubs in and around Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse and Bordeaux. Several of them are large indoor centres in the suburbs, and each listing gives the actual commune. Each listing links to the club's own booking page or the platform it uses.
