Du padel in the 16th arrondissement of Paris in Le Trinquet, it will certainly be for 2019. The City of Paris indeed opened up to competition a few weeks ago, the space which had until then been allocated to the Ligue d'Île-de-France from Pelote Basque and more precisely to Fronton and Trinquet.

But for the City of Paris, Fronton and Trinquet no longer met the criteria that allowed the organization to continue on this sports site with among others "an absence of a real sports project organized with adapted means"And"a fee that is very little revalued and low compared to the total turnover of the site"

In Trinquet, there is, in our opinion, a capacity of 4 to 6 padel. If we do not know precisely the elements that frame this call for tenders, we can easily imagine that there will be padel on this site. Hopefully, enthusiasts of padel and investors have seen this tender. Because, we had not seen anything until then and were informed only very recently by channels outside the City of Paris of this call for tenders. Pity.

The site offers indeed very interesting perspectives for the sport even if there will certainly be important investments to refurbish the site. The other big problem of the site, it will be the parking. But, we are in Paris, in the 16e, and the City of Paris, in view of its policy conducted until then, may not impose to build parking spaces on the site.

One could imagine a mixed offer of investors given the space and geographical area of ​​the site. Case to follow.
