In Clermont-Ferrand. Aurélien ROUGERIE and his associates add the padel  at the magnificent 800 m2 multisport complex already in existence: 8 squashes, an indoor multisport playground (indoor rugby-foot, ultimate freesbee, zumba), a children's play area, and now the padel are activities serving athletes alongside the dynamic brasserie-catering complex where everyone can relax in front of the giant screens and ASM Rugby.
