Montauban is preparing to welcome a new player in the French padel scene.  Starting in August 2026,  Padel Signature  will open its doors in the Albasud area with a clear ambition: to offer much more than just a place to practice. Conceived as a living space, the complex combines  sports, socializing and professional events  within modern infrastructures.

An indoor complex designed for the players' experience

Located at  1577 avenue d’Italie, Albasud Zone ,  Padel Signature  will have  four panoramic indoor competition-approved pitches benefiting from a ceiling height of  9 meters , a sought-after asset for the most demanding players.

The club will also rely on technology to improve the gaming experience:

  •  central LED wall  for the dynamic display of partners;
  •  Replay cameras  allowing us to revisit the best moments;
  •  electronic scoring  on the grounds;
  • autonomous access management;
  • site under video surveillance.

The building, which will be accessible to people with reduced mobility, will also include  46 parking , including one reserved for people with reduced mobility.

A place to live beyond sport

The founders want to make  Padel Signature  a true destination.

Upstairs, the players will find a  bar with panoramic views of the slopes , ideal for extending conversations after matches.

The complex will also host a  Private VIP room of 32 m² , adaptable to different needs, intended for both  business seminars meetings as well as private events.

Le  The clubhouse will be open every day from 9am to 22:30pm while the players will benefit from  24/7 self-service access offering great flexibility to book and play at any time.

The official inauguration is scheduled for  September 2026 .

From Barcelona to Montauban: a passion that became an entrepreneurial project

Behind  Padel Signature  are found  Clément Rouanet  et  Hugo Briand , two partners whose story with padel began in 2022 during a semester of studies in Barcelona.

At the foot of their university residence are several padel courts. After a first game played almost out of curiosity, passion quickly takes over. In Spain, they discover a ubiquitous sport, a club culture, and a convivial atmosphere that leave a lasting impression on them.

But the two students don't stop at the game. Graduates of a  Master's degree in finance from Toulouse Business School , with respective experiences in  private equity  and  financial control They quickly analyze the development of the French market.

They note that many club projects fail due to a lack of sufficiently solid financial and strategic preparation.

Padel Program, before Padel Signature

From this reflection arises  Padel Programme , a consulting structure for project leaders wishing to open their own club.

Their goal: to support future operators through all the essential stages:

  • construction of the financing plan;
  • definition of contribution;
  • equipment selection;
  • business model;
  • business strategy.

In just over a year, they are already accompanying  about twenty projects .

Padel Signature, the practical application of their method

After advising numerous entrepreneurs, Clément Rouanet and Hugo Briand finally decided to take the plunge themselves.

With  Padel Signature They wish to demonstrate that a club designed according to a rigorous methodology can combine economic performance, quality of infrastructure and customer experience.

More than just a real estate project, this complex represents the concrete culmination of their vision for the development of padel in France.
