The Country Club Barrière de La Baule club organized the inauguration of its three new padel courts on Saturday, April 7, under century-old trees, a stone's throw from the ocean.

Founded in 1928, the Barrière Country Club is an integral part of the Barrière group, a famous French group managing 32 casinos, 19 luxury hotels, and more than 150 restaurants and bars, including the famous Fouquet's on the Champs-Élysées.

The club carried out this inauguration following the completion of the work to develop the padel courts, which will open in 2023. The three Country courts are uncovered, but are equipped with a special carpet that perfectly absorbs humidity, and allows you to play even just after a downpour.

Also present, the director of the Barrière hotel complex in La Baule, Laurent Garrido, announced the construction of a 4th court, and that the space available around the courts made it possible to consider a 5th track, or even more in the future. At the same time, the Country could in the future have two courts covered to allow permanent access to the game, and in particular to the padel lessons, given by the teacher Sophie Gilbert.
