The Nantes region is preparing to welcome a new sports complex dedicated to  paddle  and  pickleball Located in Saint-Étienne-de-Montluc, on the outskirts of Nantes, this future space aims to become much more than just a sports center, with an approach that blends  sports, socializing and professional events .

The opening is scheduled for the  first quarter 2027 .

A complex of over 4,200 m²

The project includes the creation of:

  •  9 padel courts 
  •  4 pickleball courts 
  • Un  restaurant with a tree-lined terrace 
  • Un  club house 
  • A  seminar room 
  • A  interactive games and experiences room 
  • Un  car racing simulator 

The complex will be built with a  direct access from the Nantes ring road , a strategic location to attract both regular practitioners and businesses and occasional visitors.

Pickleball continues its development

Alors que le  paddle  continues its strong growth in France, the project also focuses on the development of  pickleball , a discipline that is rapidly expanding internationally.

Accessible, fun and particularly intergenerational, pickleball complements the sports offering of the future complex with the aim of reaching a wide audience, from recreational players to competitors.

A padel academy and planned competitions

The complex also intends to play a role in the development of regional padel with the creation of a  academy dedicated to training and performance .

Competitions should also be organised in order to quickly establish the site in the Nantes sporting landscape.
