Welcome to the tennis club of Eze, a unique site with a padel panoramic overlooking a breathtaking view of the Mediterranean. Few places can offer such an unlikely vision and infrastructure.

Completely renovated club, Le TC d'Eze offers top-of-the-range services including a padel panoramic with the sea in the background.

It will not be the only one, since the club is already looking further ahead, by building 2 other padel additional in 2017, because this land alone is not enough to accommodate the growing demand.

Get into the padel is recent, but the TC of Eze quickly wants to become a club of padel in its own right. Will it be one day when we see the framework in which the lands of padel ? " It will never be a club like any other ».

Michel Borfiga, former French top 30. Director of TC d'Eze for 25 years wished to have a facelift with his club by therefore offering new activities: padel / 5-a-side football and by renovating the club house and the 4 clay courts.

Michel Borfiga looks back on the adventure padel within his club.

1 / What was the trigger to embark on the adventure of padel ?

In fact, it's been a long time since we think about putting padel in the club for the past 20 years. But the trigger was the friendship with Gildo Pastor Pallanca who financed this first field of padel in the club and the town hall which co-financed with the club the earthworks / concrete slab part.

Our meeting with Jérémy Scatena, the French director of the Tecno companypadel, was also very decisive since it allowed us to lay this magnificent padel. It is expected that he will also have open houses soon to boost activity padel within the club.

2 / Tennis and padel, same fight ?

Le padel is almost natural to me, because my tennis game is like the game you need to have in padel with those balls constantly caught. I play it at least once or twice a week.

3 / What have you put in place around the activity padel ?

We offered a free initiation month for members and friends of the club. John Bougon, club tennis teacher and also the manager of padel boosts activity padel in the club. For a month, despite the holidays, we have had a lot of people on the grounds.

So, we are going to offer 2 padel additional from next year to provide a good service padel at the club. For the moment we are renting by the hour. For each game played, the club offers the box of new balls. An initiative that must be a first in the world of padel.

More globally, more and more players come from around, personalities also and it's just beginning.
