Le padel continues to develop and this is very good news for many fans of the sport. Since the end of June, we can now play padel in Sunêlia campsites on Henri Leconte courts Padel.

Indeed the Sunêlia chain and the Henri Leconte company Padel have just signed a partnership. The goal is clear: “install courts of padel HLP in around fifteen Sunêlia campsites over three years".

This desire to put land padel comes from the director of Sunêlia, Mr Marc Canavaggia. Passionate of padel he has been practicing for a long time in Spain, he wanted to introduce it to Sunêlia campsites. “Fun, simple, spectacular, family sport, accessible to all generations, the padel is the ideal product for campsites".

The 1ers courts in Bussang and Argelès-Gazost

It was the Vosges, and more exactly Bussang at the Domaine de Champé campsite, which had the honor of the first court of padel end of June.

Mid-August it is the turn of camping Sunêlia the three valleys in Argelès-Gazost to have its own land. Others should see the light of day soon.

Note that for these two occasions, Henri Leconte had made the trip, playing padel with a large audience and immediately won over by this sport.

The wedding of padel and camping:
"A great satisfaction"

Just two months after the installation of the court, the balance sheet is largely positive in Bussang; Indeed, the director of the campsite, Mr Gehin notes that the court is taken about 4 to 5h per day. An introduction is set up every week and a tournament every weekend.

Not having their short padel HLP that for a few days now, we have not had the figures for the Sunêlia les 3 vallées campsite but, given the large and enthusiastic crowd present at the inauguration, it is likely that there too the court will be used a good part of the day.

Projects: more than padel in the campsites

1er goal: put shorts. The first phase plans to install a fortnight over three years.

2nd objective: create the event, bring people to the courts. For this, building on the success of Henri Leconte Padel Tour, a Henri Leconte Padel Sunêlia Tour could see the light of day within a few months.

This project, along with many other unpublished works, will be announced during an exceptional press conference in Manosque during October.
