Less than two years after opening his first club in Bondues, Padel Break continues its development in the Hauts-de-France region. The brand will inaugurate a new indoor complex in Saint-Saulve, near Valenciennes, on August 31, 2026, with the ambition of becoming one of the regional benchmarks for padel. 

Installed  President-Lécuyer Street Located near the river port, this new site will be housed in a fully renovated former industrial building. In total,  6 000 m²  will be devoted to sport, leisure and conviviality.

A project conceived by two enthusiasts

At the beginning of Padel Break, we find  Didier Marchese  et  Jérôme Herlant , two long-time friends. After a career in mass retail and involvement with the Wasquehal Tennis Club, they chose to put their passion for padel at the service of an indoor club concept where the quality of the infrastructure is accompanied by a true life experience.

This vision materialized in September 2024 with the opening of Padel Break Bondues, which has quickly become a recognized player in the Lille metropolitan area.

Fourteen options to suit all profiles

For this second location, Padel Break changes scale.

The Saint-Saulve complex will have  14 lands  with   11 meters high including  12 dual tracks , with  three fields equipped with 3,30 meter runway exits  and  two simple tracks A configuration designed to satisfy both recreational and competitive players.

Beyond the playing fields, visitors will find all the services that define the brand's identity:

  • a friendly bar;
  • a warm-up area;
  • modern changing rooms;
  • a Pro Shop;
  • rooms dedicated to seminars and corporate events.

The main new feature will be the arrival of a  restaurant operated under management, in order to extend the sporting experience around a meal or a moment of relaxation.

A club designed as a true living space

True to its DNA, Padel Break wants to make its complex a vibrant hub far beyond just playing time. Tournaments, training courses, individual and group lessons, corporate events, private hire and sponsorship opportunities will punctuate the club's activities throughout the year.

The goal is to create a space where practitioners can both play and meet in a friendly setting.

Why Saint-Saulve?

The choice of this location is based on several strategic criteria. In particular, management emphasizes:

  • excellent accessibility thanks to the recently opened northern bypass;
  • the immediate proximity of the Belgian border;
  • a dynamic economic fabric;
  • a sector that is still poorly equipped with infrastructure dedicated to padel.

All these advantages suggest a strong development potential for this new complex.

Opening on August 31, 2026

With this second club, Padel Break confirms its ambitions in the Hauts-de-France region. Starting from  31th August 2026 The first players will be able to discover this new generation complex, designed as a space where padel, conviviality and services combine to offer much more than just a sports club.
